Pain from water?

I have been getting I guess a cramping pain from drinking water lately. I can do milk just fine bu****er or any thin liquid makes me very uncomfortable. Is anyone having a problem with this?

Hi, Kim... I'm actually the opposite. Water and any other think liquid I do just fine with...the skim milk leaves me a little 'gassy and crampy'. I'm kinda shying away from it right now and will chk it oaut again in about a month. Hope you get your's worked out! (((hugs))) -Karen

Kim, I have been having the same problem. I think it's because I was drinking too fast. I love a HUGE glass of water, but now can only sip sip sip!! Hopefully you're just drinking too fast or too much. Hope that helps some. ~Tammy~

I agree with Tammy. I was used to downing a glass of water fast. Tried too fast last night and boy did I feel it. Remember sip-sip-sip!

I get pain if the water is really cold. So I'm drinking mostly warm water. Maybe it will all change. I change every day.

Kim, try to drink flavored waters like propel or furit 2 O. They are sugar free. Also Sugar free kool aid and crystal light. THey all count as water intake. I complained about how uncomfortable it was for me to drink water, the nurse told me I was drinking my water too fast i thought she was nuts! But when I started drinking the flavored waters it slowed me down. (I guess the flavor??) Now I am fine with water! Good luck! Kristen
