I have a new issue. I am trying to sustain a 2500 calorie nutritonal intake and a 48 oz. hydration. I am not quite able to get all of the hydration consumed. After 36 oz. Reg seems to start spitting up. I have tried different intervals and not hydrating at the time time of nutrition. But by thend of the day, say 7 pm he just can't take anymore. Should I try the remainder ofthe hydration in the middle of the night while he is asleep?
