Pages: 1 Water issue       #237976 - 01/12/06 10:28 AM Edit Reply Quote Alli Reged: 04/23/05 Posts: 195 I usually drink a lot of water, which is excellent for the diet. But lately I've been feeling very ..acidic. Especially when I continue to consume water, I feel something like an acidic sensation in my chest or stomach. Any insight?

IBS-C Hi Alli, Get a piece of pH paper and test your water for acidity. You want to make sure it's near 7 and not that much lower. Otherwise, you're drinking acidic water. -Bob -------------------- <img src="http://www.math.mtu.edu/~rwkolkka/BritPicA.jpg"> Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Water issue       #237984 - 01/12/06 11:11 AM Edit Reply Quote Alli Reged: 04/23/05 Posts: 195 Oh okay. Thanks Bob!!! ..Although the water I am drinking is actually from a water cooler. So it's not tap water or anything. Or does that matter?

IBS-C Oh, in that case, it probably should be ok, but ask around where they get the water from. If it came from a filtered rain water storage tank, it may well be acidic. -Bob -------------------- <img src="http://www.math.mtu.edu/~rwkolkka/BritPicA.jpg"> Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Water issue       #238026 - 01/12/06 01:49 PM Edit Reply Quote Linz Reged: 09/01/03 Posts: 8242 Loc: England I actually found that of all the safe things to drink cold water (ESPECIALLY ice-cold) can be a big GERDs trigger, so it could well be that. Any ice-cold drinks will mae your stomach cramp up a bit btw.

It is best to drink room temperature water. Sometimes I splurge on bottled Evian water. Since there is very little I can drink, I figure (for what little I can drink) I should be entitled (guilt-free) to some "better quality" water! Most days, though, I drink room temperature bottled President's Choice water available at supermarkets here in Canada. I keep a bottle on my kitchen counter at all times. The water is cheap, but good! I never drink tap water except if I have boiled it in the kettle. I find I get totally nauseated from the chlorine if I drink unboiled tap water.
