Is this dehydration?

GraceLMember

I've had my stoma since feb of 2012 but yesterday an today I've had severe headache and feeling sick I've taken panadol but headache isn't going away and water is making me feel even more sick!! I take packe if salted crisps most days and did so today but it didn't help. On top of it all my rectum is really playing up and bleeding a lot tonight any help would be great.

Do you think you could tolerate drinking some sort of sports drink like Gatorade? It's not my favorite, but just prior to having my first surgery in November, I was pretty chronically dehydrated and my doctor suggested that I just drink Gatorade instead of water for a while. It did make a difference, so anytime I suspect that I am getting dehydrated, I switch over to drinking Gatorade for a few days. For me, one of the biggest signs is an awful headache, so I can definitely relate to what you're going through. Feel better soon!
