Balancing Dehydration and Sugar Concerns?
AI-generated title
So, dealing with dehydration. Bloodwork says my kidneys are still okay. Question: doc says take electrolytes daily to counter the dehydration. All I can find that I can tolerate is something for kids called KinderLyte. It has dextrose, though apparently not as much as it tastes like it has. But, aren't we not supposed to take in sugar because it feeds cancer? Have you all completely cut sugar out? I largely have until this. (I know some of the other electrolyte drinks use fake sugars, but I can't tolerate the sugar substitutes.) I feel like I have to decide between risking more cancer or getting so badly dehydrated that I end up in crisis and even possibly damage my kidneys. Any help?

Discussing Diet & Exercise for Side Effects
AI-generated title
Opening up for discussion sharing thoughts on diets, dietary changes or specific foods people have found helpful for side effects or that they feel are attributable to long term progress free Myeloma? My husband, diagnosed July '22, started Vegan, whole food, plant based diet. He has had terrific relief from the neuropathy in his feet that was presumably result of the Melphalan given during ASCT. He has been starting his day juicing celery before eating anything. When he doesn't juice for a few days we usually see a spike in his bilirubin. Correlation or coincidence? Not sure, but we are going to continue just in case. Also, started yoga, strength training and Peloton.
