Oh yes, you can basically lose so much water and salts you die of dehydration, that's why people used to die from cholera. And drinking a lot of water won't be sufficient, as you also need to replace the salts and sugars you eject. Today in the developed world our hospitals can just give saline solutions and let the patient "wait it out", but it has not always been an option and probably still isn't a lot of places in the world.
