Water - Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Message Board

Hi,

I don't know if anyone else has had this or I should worry.

Every time I drink water I bloat right out like I am pregnant within a few seconds.. it is really uncomfortable and annoying.

Please let me know if you have had this or know anything about it.

That sure is unusual. It seems that since your body is made up of 70% water --it certainly would not bother you.
Something is going that I don't understand --- I would try a pure form of water like steam distilled to see if it makes ant difference. Maybe something is in the water you drink???

God Bless---Harry

I agree with Harry I can only drink distilled water or it makes me have a stomach ache but I thought mine was from my liver.

My stomach does better with small amounts and more often. How much do you drink at once, and are you eating with it. Someone mentioned swallowing air along with drinking also.

Oh, does crushed ice also make you bloat? Sometimes that helps me with gas. I kind of think it has been the air swallowing with me.
