Yes I had that when I was taking lialda. I don't know what your meds are but I will never take lialda again.

You actually have me kind of worried. If you have anemia it could cause something like that.

I'm praying for you and hope you'll get help if it seems serious. I usually don't give advice or suggestions unless asked.

Well wishes Glenn. mm

I was thinking maybe anemia too. That and / or dehydration. If it continues today please get checked out. I sent you a message as well. I'm concerned for you.

I am not bleeding but I will drink lots of water today and see if that helps

Do you live alone? When I get dehydrated or very anemic I have experienced what you are talking about.. On 2 different occasions, I needed to be hospitalized and I honestly couldn't have gotten there myself. Drinking a lot of water is good but your electrolites could be way off. Gatorade can help with that. Please make sure someone is checking in with you and your doctor is aware. I am praying for you.

I get that way when I'm dehydrated! It's a scary feeling. I always have to go to the ER for IV fluids etc.

All of you were right I started drinking water and tea and I am feeling better now I forget I have to drink ever when I am not thristy

Sooooo glad you're feeling better.

So glad you are better. I am a huge tea drinker and I have never had to give it up even in a bad flare but some people are unable to have the caffeine and struggle with black teas. If you are still struggling with dehydration, try green tea. It is easier on the system and may work better. Also, I buy Twinings brand of cold brew bags. I love the mint flavor which infuses the water with a light fresh taste without really having tea. I prefer this on hot days and drink it all summer:)

Gatorade and 5 hour energy I am still feeling weak tho

You may need to get in to see someone. I know that's not idea but if you are WAY dehydrated or WAY anemic, it may take some medical intervention to address these things

I feel dizzy all the time. I never had this problem before I was diagnosed but now its almost like every other day. I noticed that I get like this before I have to use the bathroom or if I am dehydrated. I think I drink a lot of water,but when I get that feeling it's like a quick reminder that I need to drink more.

When I am in a flare "a lot of water" has a different meaning. AS we all know, most water absorbtion occurs in the colon so the amount of water we drink may seem ridiculously high and yet we still become dehydrated. Feeling dizzy and "out of it" are symptoms of dehydration and/or anemia. If you are at that point and simply drinking a lot of fluids doesn't bring on clear thinking, IV fluids may be necessary. Sweetypie, if you haven't already had lab work done, I would ask your GI to check for anemia. You may need iron supplements.

a few things make me dizzy - low blood sugar, dehydration(++), fatigue, and PMS.
when i am feeling lousy, i drink ginger tea, made from fresh ginger, boiling water, and honey. Hydrates me, settles my tummy, and is a gentle anti-inflammatory.

I have UC and sometimes have days where I feel dizzy or just sort of out of it. I try to stay hydrated and when I'm having a lot of trouble I try to drink gatorade for a few days. It seems to help me out. I think sometimes it is dehydration, maybe anemia, but sometimes I think it is just part of the UC. Sometimes I will have achy joints and muscles, sort of like being sick with a cold or flu, but it is from the UC.

If you are really dizzy and feeling like you might pass out I would talk to your Dr. They might have some better ideas to get you on track faster than home remedies. Then after you are feeling better you can do things at home to stay feeling better.
