   @ Sandra and ladeedah -

   Your problems (all of them) are caused by not drinking enough water – dehydration. You’re either not drinking enough water or you’re drinking a lot of soft drinks or coffee or energy drinks or some other water alternative.

   Doctors advise to "drink plenty of fluids", so when people hear "fluids" they immediately run out for a soft drink or something else besides water. Water has a bland taste, so people opt for something with "personality" – after all, the doctor DID say "fluids".

   These doctors are idiots. They used to advise to drink 8-10 eight-ounce glasses of water per day. Obviously, they never knew what for. The alternative drinks above all act like a diuretic and pull water out of your body at a rate of 50% more than they put in. The body functions on water, and it won’t accept anything else.

   Nearly every health problem that is not inherited or injury-related is caused by not drinking enough water. This encompasses those that you mentioned. Click on the link below to learn how to correct the problem(s) properly before they cause more problems for you.

   Your headaches may be due to the IBS. I have Ulcerated Colitis and have severe headaches if I don’t eat right. As for over the counter? Not much out there. I take Flexeril, it is prescribed by your physician but is relatively cheap. My headaches are caused by tension in the neck and shoulders which stems from the colitis and manifests in my neck and shoulders. Not sure but this could be your problem. The Flexeril helps to relax those muscles. Good luck.

   Tylenol will not harm your stomach.
