Not at all. In fact, if you have D, you need to have even more fluids (possibly with electrolytes as well as water) to compensate for the water loss and avoid dehydration.

Definitely have to emphasize the electrolytes part, particularly for those of us who are "delicate flowers": sensitivity to sunlight, easily fatigued in hot weather, low blood pressure, etc. If you really start drinking a lot of water, make sure you're getting enough sodium too.

If drinking more water makes you feel more bloated and fatigued, add something safe and salty (like pretzels, baked chips, pickles, etc.) to your diet. It helped me hugely! I gotta get the water for my C (and if I get really dehydrated, I get D), but I will easily get waterlogged if I'm not getting enough sodium in.
