Can eating alot of fiber make you excessively thirsty?

Yes, fiber is like a sponge , it takes moisture out of your body. It is important to increase yout natural water intake when on a high fiber diet.Fiber improves your bowel functions, and will clean you out, you need the water to help this process.This will also improve the diet results with weight loss. Water helps flush out the body. Dont drink too much water , it can also hert you by flushing out your electrolytes. drink sone gadoraid to help put the electrolytes back into your body. Good luck.

Yes.  A little drink is perfectly harmless (unless it's during a red tide or it's polluted).\n\nIt's only a serious problem when you are unable to drink anything else (like in a liferaft without fresh water).  The high salt content wouldn't quench your thirst for long and would just increase the salt in your body (further dehydrating you) and make you sick.

Talk to your doctor. Unquenchable thirst is a major indicator for diabetes. You may need to be tested.

Excessive water intake is called psychogenic diabetes insipidis.  The only real problem is you will have to pee a whole lot, and you could make your blood hypotonic or even cause dumping syndrome in your intestines.

YES its serious. Alcohol and if you eat alot of salt with food or beer will cause water retention. You putting you self at high risk for Hypertension,cardiac arrest etc. You might want to ask Dr for Diuretic like Lasix. If he prescribes Lasix he should give you postassium as well. Do keep you from getting dehydrated

not "drunk" but you can overhydrate yourself.\n\nWhen too much water enters the body's cells, the tissues swell with the excess fluid. Your cells maintain a specific concentration gradient, so excess water outside the cells (the serum) draws sodium from within the cells out into the serum in an attempt to re-establish the necessary concentration. As more water accumulates, the serum sodium concentration drops -- a condition known as hyponatremia. The other way cells try to regain the electrolyte balance is for water outside the cells to rush into the cells via osmosis. The movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from higher to lower concentration is called osmosis. Although electrolytes are more concentrated inside the cells than outside, the water outside the cells is 'more concentrated' or 'less dilute' since it contains fewer electrolytes. Both electrolytes and water move across the cell membrane in an effort to balance concentration. Theoretically, cells could swell to the point of bursting.

Sounds to me like you are restricting food intake too much.  Protein and fiber keep you full longer.  Eating 6 meals a day works best.
