How much you need to limit your water depends on your stage of kidney disease and your treatment. Talk to your doctor or dietitian to find out how much water you should have each day. To help quench your thirst, you might try to:
- Suck on a mint or piece of hard candy
- Chew gum
- Have a piece of ice (make sure you count this toward your fluids for the day)
- Eat a small piece of cold fruit
- Rinse your mouth
- Limit how much salt (sodium) you have
- Avoid very sweet foods
- Drink from small cups
