Believe it or not, the best way to not retain water is to stay well hydrated and avoid a high salt diet.  A moderate exercise regimen is very helpful as well.  \n\nOne of the worst things people do, is decrease water intake.  This has a reverse effect by actually causing your body to try an hold on to as much as possible, holding it in the supporting tissues, maximally concetrating the serum and urine.\n\nAlso, don't take other people's prescription medications.  If you feel medication is needed for your problem, get the right medication and treatment plan from a physician.

Um, it is a misnomer that drinking more water gets rid of edema, it just produces more edematous pathology. Remember water follows sodium. There are over the counter diuretics, but use them cautiously. Lasix, which is actually a naturally occurring medicine is the best thing to use, you then need to take some kind of potassium supplement, because with the excretion of water and sodium, your potassium will be excreted as well. It is always very wise to check with a doctor, they are trained professionals and can discover the underlying problem causing your edema. Solving the underlying problem is what you need to have done, otherwise you are simply treating symptoms, not causes.

Drink lots of water.  By the way, salt is a natural expectorant as well as a natural antihistamine. Histamine is the body's response to dehydration since the role of histamine is to act as the master conductor of water management during dehydration.

Looks like you answered your own question. You know you don't drink enough water and you've described a lot of symptoms of being dehydrated.\nGet bottled water or regular tap water and put a few drops of concentrated lemon in it so it won't taste bad. Put them in bottles and chill in the fridge, whatever it takes to get the water down.\nGuzzle it!

While rarely serious when treated properly, diarrhea can send your toddler to the hospital if he becomes dehydrated, so your first concern should be giving him enough liquids. If your toddler isn't also vomiting, it should be fairly easy to give him extra water to drink. If he can't keep liquids down, though, or if his diarrhea is severe (a watery bowel movement every two hours or more), call his doctor, who may suggest a pediatric electrolyte solution, like Pedialyte, ReVital, or a generic brand. These solutions are available in drugstores and come in flavors that most toddlers will readily drink if they're dehydrated.\n\nAvoid sweetened fluids like sodas (including ginger ale), athletic drinks (like Gatorade), Jell-O, sugar water, and undiluted fruit juices. All of these contain sugar that will draw water into the intestine and make the diarrhea worse. Also don't use anti-diarrhea medication unless the doctor prescribes it.\n\nDoctors now advise continuing to feed solid foods to a child with diarrhea. While there's nothing wrong with feeding your toddler the classic BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and dry toast), the AAP says any foods made up of complex carbohydrates, such as rice, wheat, potatoes, bread, and cereal, as well as lean meats, yogurt, fruits, and vegetables, are safe to eat. (If your toddler temporarily refuses to eat, don't worry. As long as he stays hydrated his appetite should return in a day or two.)\n\nStudies have shown that live bacterial cultures, found in yogurt, are a safe and effective way to cut down on the amount and duration of diarrhea. It's an easy way to treat the problem, especially if your toddler loves the taste of yogurt. Just be sure to buy yogurt with lactobacillus, or live cultures.\n\nIf your toddler is uncomfortable during a bout of diarrhea, try to cuddle and comfort him as much as possible and keep his bottom dry. Use care, tenderness, and plenty of diaper cream when changing him, since it's easy for your toddler's bottom to become red and irritated from the loose stools.

The best thing to do is to determine the cause of the headache/migraine. As someone pointed out, dehydration can cause severe headaches. So can certain diseases, such as endometriosis, tumors, lupus, etc. It would be good to see a doctor to eliminate the more serious possibilities, and to make sure that your diet and exercise are healthy so that you don't have to over medicate yourself. There are also good homeopathic migraine treatments available in health stores.

The best treatment for heartburn is to make sure you are always well hydrated (this means water), avoid high fat or fried foods, avoid acidic foods and avoid caffeine.  Tums are always a good treatment and you get some added calcium. If it continues after that, you may want to see a gastroenterologist and be sure you haven't done serious esophagal damage or are suffering from GURD.

I think water would be the best thing for you, if you are dehydrated already then beer will just make it worse!

Water for the dehydration. Mineral water if you can get it; that always seems to help me more. Of course, you get your water from a well, it already has plenty.\n\nFor the stomach ache, antacids help me, but sugar-free peppermints are good depending on how bad it is. Resting and trying to relax are helpful too, especially if you are tired or stressed.\n\nIf you have frequent problems like this, you probably should mention them to your doctor.

There really isn't a healthy way to do that!\n\nIf it's water weight, you can try a diuretic to help... and of course, extreme diet & exersize might help.
