Thanks, Paula, I suspect that I may have had excessive stools the day they put me in the hospital and tested my sodium level. I do not usually actually have "runs", but rather many formed stools in one day and then diminishing amounts one or two succeeding days. Then nothing. After a day or two, I do something about it because my ascending colon feels tight and full and I begin to pass tiny little narrow cylinders which require huge effort and sometimes, manual intervention. Sorry if this is gross. My problems are usually gross. Ruth

Hi Ruth,
If you have low sodium I would not worry about eating too much salt, and it
affecting your heart.   Your body was excreting the salt due to your
digestion problem. You might have had the runs, which would trigger the low
sodium level.
