I'm having a hard time remembering not to drink during meals. I don't understand why. I have always had to keep my water intake very high due to vaso-vagal symptoms (I faint if I get dehydrated) and I have such a strong need to sip water between bites of food. Is there a reason that I can't or shouldn't - why do I need to wait 30 mins after a meal to drink anything?

From Tiffykins suggestion a while back, I drink right up to when I am about to eat, and I find that it's easier. Then I pop a piece of gum right after eating to help with the dryness and digestion. BTW--I ate and drank once to see what it was like and I vomited. LOL Learned that lesson quick. Good Luck and Congrats
