I started my fast and a few hours later i started to feel ill. I had a running tummy and i vomited all that i had eaten for Suhoor. I'm feeling very weak and I'm afraid that I'll get too dehydrated, as I've lost body fluids. In this case is breaking my fast permissible?

I don't know if Allah would be too hot on that. It might be natures way, but then again if you don't get fluids you could die.

Islamic Laws : Fasting » Vomiting
1655. If a fasting person vomits intentionally his fast becomes void, though he may have been obliged to do so on account of sickness. However, the fast does not become void, if one vomits forgetfully or involuntarily.
1656. If a person eats something at night knowing that it will cause vomiting during the day time, the recommended precaution is that he should give the qadha of that fast.
1657. If a fasting person can stop vomiting without causing any harm or inconvenience to himself, he should exercise restraint.
1658. If a fly enters the throat of a fasting person, it will not be necessary to throw it out if it has gone deep down the gullet, and his fast will be valid. But if it has not descended deep down, it must be coughed out, even by vomiting, if it is not harmful to do so. If one does not do so, fast will be void.
1659. If a person swallows something by mistake and remembers before it reaches the stomach that he is fasting, it is not necessary for him to throw it out, and his fast is in order.
1660. If a fasting person is certain that if he belches, something will come out from the throat, he should not, as a precaution, belch intentionally, but there is no harm in his belching if he is not certain about it.
1661. If a fasting person belches and something comes from his throat or into the mouth, he should throw it out, and if it is swallowed unintentionally, his fast is in order.

Yes, you may break your fast & make up the days later.
"WHO IS EXEMPT FROM SAWM?
Fasting is mandatory on every Muslim who is sane, adult, able and resident. The following exemptions apply:
1. the insane;
2. children who are not adolescent yet;
3. the elderly and chronically ill for whom fasting is unreasonably strenuous; Such persons are required to feed at least one poor person every day in Ramadan for which he or she has missed fasting.
4. pregnant women and nursing may postpone the fasting at a later time;
5. the ill and the travellers can also defer their fasting.
Allah says in the Qur'an, Surah Al-Baqara:
'But if anyone is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period should be made up by days later. Allah intends every facility for you; He does not want to put you to difficulties.'
6. Women during the period of menstruation or of post childbirth confinement. Fasting during these periods is forbidden and should be made up later, a day for a day."

In case of vomiting and it's mouth full, yes.
Also in case you are sick and there will be a great danger on your health like in some diseases, the doctor should tell the final of that.
In both cases you should fast later after Ramadan.

Asalamu aleykum
Any injury or illness, even a minor one, is sufficient excuse for breaking the fast, but, of course, a person who doesn't fast in Ramadan has to make it up later.
Write to me if you want actual fatawa on this.
May Allah bless, forgive, and guide us all.

Absolutely. Illness is a perfectly acceptable reason to break your fast. You can make it up at a later time.

I think I would ask your religious leader, but from a practical stand point, I would assume that God (Allah) would forgive you for taking care of your health. That and go to a doctor. You might have food poisoning, and you might not. But if your symptoms persist, I would really go see a doctor and ask what he or she thinks about you fasting for a month.

If the vomitting was mouth full, then your sawm is already broken.

if you are sick and are throwing things up Allah wouldn't want you to suffer Allah would want you to get well enough so you can continue fasting when better, So yes in this case it is ok to break your fast, just make sure you make up the days that you missed!!!
