Heartburn from Water?



Recommended Posts

Okay let me preface this by saying I am a Water fiend. I drink so much water that I am fairly sure I slosh. Be that as it may, I do notice that if I drink too much on an empty stomach I get mild heartburn. I usually take a prilosec maybe once a month and it goes away pretty much instantly but it is always because of water. Does this happen to anyone else?

I just had my band removed on 8/28, and since then, drinking Water on an empty stomach (or during exercise) causes me reflux. I drink lots of water, always have, and the reflux is a new problem. I’m getting sleeved next month and am now concerned going in with reflux

Kay, if your stomach already has a lot of acid in it, adding a big rush of Water makes it slosh up into your esophagus. Since you don't suffer with this the rest of the time, slowing down when your stomach is empty is the "cure". Take it from the Acid Queen!

I too even when I’ve had a meal 30 min or an hour later I too get that hurt feeling in my stomach. Feels the same when I’m hungry or full

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
