Does Dehydration Cause Low Body Temperature?
Is a low temperature associated with Dehydration? I am prepping for a colonscopy tomorrow and took my temperature before starting the prep work and after not eating anything all day. It was 95 degrees. I went to the drugstore and got some gatorade. Once I drank a bottle of that, it went up to 96. Just afraid once the dulcolax kicks in (took 4 about an hour ago) and I start the Go Litely later tonight, that I might get real sick.

Hello,
The loss of fluid and electrolyte from the body via consumption of gut preparation medications are a major concern for low body temperature.
Kindly get blood pressure checked and revert back to me immediately for further assistance ahead or you can call your doctor office for the same as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
