Find and replace exact word

Monica_

Hello I am currently working on a project. It has multiple and concatenated statuses. 

 

I just want to remove all the "hydrated" ones.

 

Sample status:

1) hydrated, mildly dehydrated, severely dehydrated

2) hydrated

3) mildly dehydrated, hydrated

 

Output needed:

1) mildly dehydrated, severely dehydrated

2) 

3) mildly dehydrated

 

I used replacechar however it is not looking for the exact word. Also used regex_replace but same wrong results.

 

Any ideas? Thanks!
