Hi everyone,

 

I've had some stomach problems in the past and I was looking up various documentation when I came accross this: link removed

 

It says that many illnesses are the response of the chronic dehydration of the body. I think it's very interesting and worth a read.

 

I also read something on another website that made a lot of sense. I regularly have heartburn and stomach cramping after eating. I used to drink a lot of fluid with my meals. I read an article that said you should never drink any fluid within an hour of eating...why? Because your stomach acid gets so diluted that it is as effective as cleaning a floor with a swimming pool of water and a thimble of cleaner. Food sits too long in your digestive tract trying to be digested and causes bloating, gas, heartburn and other complaints.

 

I've since stopped having fluid with my meals and a huge chunk of my heartburn and stomach complaints have resolved themselves. Weird!

 

I was very interested in that website so if you feel up to it, take a peek through!

Hmm... that does make quite a bit of sense actually.

Interesting website, thanks for sharing!! I am always surprised at how thirsty I get some days where I have to constantly drink water all day long and other days not thirsty at all...

I'd never be able to not have something to drink with food.

 

Waitresses and waiters hate me because I always have like 5 refills with dinner. But I always tip good lol.

I know what you mean. The first week was hard as hell but now I've really gotten used to it!

Thanks for that, I get stomach cramps. Thought they might be stress related, but I'll give it a go.

 

Cheers. Jho.

Jhodas so you know I also started taking digestive enzymes before I eat so that could also be helping me too.

 

Cheers back!

I dunno, I've never had any problems eating, and drinking food. I'll try it though.
