I drink about the same...one 32 oz sized bottle of Water...and 1-2 cups of coffee in the morning. I do drink some green tea as well. I have never had a problem with re-flux...but, I did eat tomato Soup a couple weeks ago, and it was so acidic it messed my throat up for a bit. So no tomato soup for me! Are you suffering symptoms of dehydration? (fatigue, constipation, etc)? How many oz of water do you drink?

I went to check out your prior post..you have a bunch of comments...might want to check it out again :-)

Drinking a cup of coffee and a bottle of water is not enough to keep you hydrated through the day.Try and sip on other fluids as well but if you feel that it is going to cause acid reflux then you have to be real careful on what you drink.I feel water is the safest.

I drink about that amount of coffee everyday and if I don't drink enough Water I can tell the difference. I would suggest drinking at least 12 oz of water for every cup of coffee you drink. You urine and feces are the best factors in determining if you are hydrated enough. If you urine is light (barely any color) and your feces is smooth, comes out easy and shaped like a banana, you are properly hydrated. Feces should never be hard or appear as little balls. Individual "marbles" means you are definitely dehydrated, "marbles" clumped together is a little better but you're still in need of hydration. Your feces should always sink to the bottom or it can indicate an infection somewhere in your body.

Seven, I sent you a message to see if you can see that there are many responses to both topics you started? Like this post so we know you're seeing responses?
