Does drinking more water make you thirstier?

Nurses General Nursing

Updated:   Published

Sometimes I go through the suggestion to drink more water. Tried it plain, with lemon, with cucumber slices, etc. I LOVE ice water, but there are times when drinking just water makes me feel thirstier and thirstier, and quenching? Not particularly. Not at all! More like bloated and/or slightly nauseated and there are times when it gives me wicked heartburn!

Anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?

I've had a great GI doc before, but that was when I was younger & lived in Florida. Once I moved back to Texas, I haven't gotten one because I haven't really needed one until about a year ago. But of course, it gets put on the back burner until I have some crazy vomit episode.

I actually only vomit when laying on my side, not on my back...so hopefully I won't aspirate. I am looking for a new GI doctor now, so maybe I can figure this out.

No Stars In My Eyes: I love the dog story! I have a 140 lb rottweiler who acts like a big baby & will get startled if you surprise him with a loud sneeze!

I found it very helpful to cut out carrageenan. Carrageenan makes me vomit in the middle of the night, and I can't digest my food. It's in some milk products, chocolate milk, cream, sour cream, ice cream, yogurt, etc.

Me, too!! The more water I drink, the worse it gets. I'm good with juice. I can't eat carrageenan in my foods/drinks or I get terrible heartburn. Some bottled water gives me headaches/migrains/cluster headaches.

The answer you're looking for is : Chalk.

Your source(s) of water contain a lot of chalk which cause your mouth to feel dry

If you shower/bathe with water of the same condition, you may experience that annoying type of smoothness on the skin.

If you are in contrast with the chalk's electric orientation, it may even cause your skin to itch.
