<human>: It seems that since I have started dialysis I m gaining dry weight and also after having dialysis my stomach gets so bloted and cramping. It has gotten so bad my stomach makes all kinds of noise and I have to leave the room. I have been taking Alkaseltzer but5 that has a lot of sodium in in it,so that s out. What do I do? And why is it happening?
<bot>: The symptoms you have reported suggest excessive removal of fluid during dialysis. That may be happening because you are gaining more weight in between the dialysis. I suggest-1. Start taking dialysis thrice a week if not already done.2. Chat Doctor. Cut down significantly on your fluid intake say 700-800ml/day4. Limit your weight gain in between 2 dialysis sessions to maximum 1 kg.5. Stop taking Alka-Seltzer immediately
