(please answer) How long does it take for water to be absorbed?!
Question: (please answer) How long does it take for water to be absorbed?
I've been trying to recover after the flu. Dehydration from vomiting, fever, etc.
I woke up this morning and just guzzled water, cup after cup. This did disturb my stomach a bit but I just put my mind on something else.
What I'm wondering is how long does it take for the body to absorb water when being dehydrated to a degree?
I also learned nausea is a symptom of dehydration and I'm trying to get rid of nausea.
Thanks for any responses

Answers:
It takes about 30 minutes to an hour depending on the person, and whether or not you have just eaten, and other factors.

don't chug water you need to just sip it every 5-10 min. that way you body absorbs it, instead of just passing it though your system.
1 hour or so i suppose.
