Water = heartburn?

Anybody else getting heartburn from water? I can drink just about anything else and be OK but for some reason water is not working with me. Making it kind of hard to get my 8 glasses a day.

Re: Water = heartburn?

  • It's because it fills you and up and causes more stomach acid to come up. It feels SO GOOD going down, but will hurt coming back up!

  • Just got raging <3burn from water as we speak. ugh. pass the tums, please!
  • water, especially very cold water, makes heartburn worse.

    try warm water instead and make sure to sip it, not gulp it. Don't have water with meals, because that will make your heartburn worse. Take tums as soon as you feel the first signs of heartburn. Don't overeat and avoid acidic foods, like oranges, tomatoes (and tomato sauce), etc.

    Apparently, eating a pickle (or drinking pickle juice) helps with heartburn. Milk helps too. 

    DO NOT drink a coke while taking tums ... they counteract each other and will make your heartburn worse. One or the other is fine.

  • Heartburn is worse if you're dehydrated also.

    I don't know about you guys but once I have heartburn it's not going anywhere until I take some tums or my (Dr approved) RX heartburn meds, in which case water also doesn't help.

  • I have to "flavor" my water with a lemon or lime or berries.  That seems to help.

    Otherwise, I have terrible heartburn.

    I think it has to do with the vinegar
