You should look closely into your diet. It is all right to fast but honestly no doctor would recommend you to fast without hydration: water is sufficient. There are plenty of nice things perhaps drink a small shot glass of pressed beetroot or add psyllium husks to your regular diet (warning this is not food it is just fibre to get your digestion going and they swell so please be carefull people have choked on these). Try eating carefully and avoid sour: yogurt is good for your tummy and so is oat porridge. Try to be kind and gentle and listen to your body and please do not dehydrate again
