>Salt is only bad if you dont drink water. People who drink soda, coffee, tea, and juice have this problem.
No, that's a stupid meme. Most drinks are about as hydrating as plain water

>Cumulative urine output at 4 h after ingestion of cola, diet cola, hot tea, iced tea, coffee, lager, orange juice, sparkling water, and a sports drink were not different from the response to water ingestion.

>The same goes for tea, juice, milk and caffeinated sodas: One glass provides about the same amount of hydrating fluid as a glass of water. The only common drinks that produce a net loss of fluids are those containing alcohol.
Also the idea you need 8 glasses of water a day is a misunderstanding of a 1945 Food and Nutrition Board article.

>A suitable allowance of water for adults is 2.5 litres daily in most instances. An ordinary standard for diverse persons is 1 millilitre for each calorie of food. Most of this quantity is contained in prepared foods. If the last, crucial sentence is ignored, the statement could be interpreted as instruction to drink eight glasses of water a day.

>It's like saying if you feel hungry you're already starving and you should eat when you're not actually hungry.
Correct, "chronic dehydration" is bullshit and your body's way more sensitive to lack of water than it is to lack of food since you die in just a few days without water vs. potentially months without food.
>The results indicate that during free access to water humans become thirsty and drink before body fluid deficits develop, perhaps in response to subtle oropharyngeal cues, and so provide evidence for anticipatory thirst and drinking in man.

>What made people start believing this?
It was literally bottled water corporation propaganda. Danone got caught putting fake articles in the academic journal BMJ.
>Over the last few weeks, those who visited the British Medical Journal's website might have noticed an advert for a new public health initiative, Hydration for Health. It is sponsored by Danone – which owns the Evian, Volvic and Badoit bottled water brands – and urges healthcare professionals to encourage people to drink more water, claiming that "evidence is increasing that even mild dehydration plays a role in the development of various diseases".
>Margaret McCartney, a GP and columnist, saw these adverts and complained about it, writing an article for the BMJ (who admitted "we hadn't followed our own guidelines. The advertisement bypassed our editorial checks") about the lack of evidence – and citing the shortcomings of many studies – that people should be drinking more water.

> I stick to instant noodles simply because they're the only thing that doesn't screw me up somehow,
You're not crazy FYI.
it's always been the same for me where instant noodles are super-easy on the GI tract.
Speaking as a 35 year old Ulcerative Colitis having guy.
Part of it is that it's the epitome of the "low residue" / "low fiber" diet. Despite most people thinking fiber == "good for you" it's really pretty bad if you have intestinal problems. Also I find that high salt level foods tend to sit better, possibly because high salt kills most microbes.

>Interesting that it happens to some.
Not really interesting at all. Coffee and cigarettes are both stimulants, and the GI tract is a nervous system much like your central nervous system. It's weird if doesn't result in a bowel movement since stimulants like that literally move your bowels.
