My 80 year old mom is on a portal being fed formula. She developed diarrhea and was ask for us to feed her Gatorade for a couple of days. She had not had a bowel movement for about 3 days now, however, her urine output is extremely HIGH. My question is the liquid in place of her bowel movement. We have measured her urine output verses the input is just about the same.
