Question:
Burning sensation when drinking water?

Hi, all. I am pre-op and am trying to wean myself off of diet soda and drink more water, but I notice that when I drink plain bottled or tap water, I get a burning sensation in my throat down to my stomach, could it be acid reflux? This is one of the primary reasons I have never drank much water. It doesn't happen when I drink flavored waters or any other type of fluid. Has anyone had this experience? It also seems to make me feel more hungry. I'd appreciate any help. Moiasa    — Moysa B. (posted on June 13, 2003)

I haven't had the particular issue, but there's certainly nothing wrong with drinking sugar-free flavored water. Better than no water, not enough water or suffering!
