    Allergy to Drinking Water!
    Hi, have been having this allergic reaction whenever I drink water (be it tap water, bottle- all the same). My stomach gets big and big just after I drink water, it's discomforting, and painful. It's been a while since I discovered it, have gone to see doctors with no success for cure, have been told by some that there cannot be an allergic reaction to drinking water. Otherwise I am healthy and have no known problems. So far, I have been avoiding water and drinking only coffee, tea and soft drinks occasionally. (by the way I am 115 pounds and 5.3 )
    Has anyone have /had this kind of problem? Were you able to solve it? Please share your ideas.
    Thanks

    What do you think, coffee and tea are made from ?

    Water??

    What happens when you boil water and drink that.

    There has to be another explanation for your allergy to drinking water. Perhaps what your drinking water is treated with where you live. Bottled water, maybe the same. I don't believe wholly that some comes from spring water; there are just to many variables to believe that. As noted, everything is made of the same water, so how do you explain that? Are you allergic to your coffee, tea, soft drinks ?
