Only couple to few weeks since I last had stomach problems. Thankfully it seems more like too much food or water, possibly combination from last night's supper. After some sickness this morning I feel better, hopeful that was it. This lead me to Google about diet and digestion relating to stomach problems.
What's interesting is drinking too much water could cause several problems. Not necessarily life threatening water intoxication, which happens in the most severe of cases. But how it could affect regular bodily functions and even if not deadly could have side-effects. Usually the advice is to drink as much water or eight glasses every day, check your urine to see if you're hydrated.
In the articles below the advice; more the second is remember to listen to your body, drink slowly and remember food has water too, and surprise to me is not to have actual clear urine but light yellow. If you're urinating frequently and during the night, probably drinking too much water. Personally I usually do, but sometimes it's less frequent and then I drinking too much too soon trying to hydrate. What's recommended is once every couple to few hours and not having it interrupt your sleep. But I think the latter depends, if you drink any water before bed regardless you'd probably need to go during the night.
Here's the two articles below for any interested:
