My stomach has a tough time with water. Sometimes, water seems to stay stuck in one spot in my stomach longer than any solid food. I can even move around and hear and feel water in the direction in which I move. I have also had times where I literally regurgitated water. It was a nauseating, vomiting sensation where no food or acid came up, only water. If I have a particularly severe bout of nausea, I have to lay off the water for a while. Water also worsens any headaches I get, and I cannot drink any when my head is in pain.It often feels like water gets "stuck" in one spot in my stomach. The water doesn't seem to be "absorbed" or "used up" and I never feel it move downward.I still drink 8-10 8-oz. portions of water daily only to avoid bloating and distention that may be worse than what I have now! Plus, I use milk of magnesia daily that causes loss of a good deal of water, and I want to ensure that my colon gets plenty of water to constantly push everything out.My mother, who really doesn't have major IBS problems, claims drinking water always makes her nauseated. (Perhaps I inherited it.)
