    @GaleHawkins do you filter the sources of these claims at all?

    @jgnatca this source and others indicate drinking water and eating sugar with meals can be an issue for some people.

    The majority of people with this syndrome have had gastric bypass surgery.

    Yes which confirms drinking water/sugar (juice, etc) can impact digestion if we overfill our stomachs. No wonder drinking two glasses of sugar/water (coke, etc) can lead to digestive health issues for non gastric bypass people.

    Wut. That's not what the article says at all.

    Do have any evidence for these claims, or are you just making things up again.

    While the article does address the drinking of water/sugar water with meals can cause digestion issues the MD source of only drinking a slip of water at meal time is below.

    Dr. Hiromi Shinya, MD in his book The Enzyme Factor states to stop drinking water based drinks 30 minutes before meals and do not start back until 1.5 hours after meals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiromi_Shinya

    Many may not realize it is not just the pH factor but the concentration of digestive enzymes are key to pevent becoming obese and sick. With good digestion of a good diet can help prevent most all types of diseases like heart disease, cancer, mental illness, etc.

    Bottom of that page:

    Scientific misconduct
    Pseudoscience
    Tondemo-bon - means "outrageous" or "preposterous" + bon "book" in Japanese. Recently the word has gained another meaning thanks to the activity of Togakkai (the Academy of Tondemo books) which annually award Nihon Tondemo-bon Taisho (Japan Tondemo Book Award), which is similar to the Golden Raspberry Award or the Ig Nobel Prize. Tondemo-bon is defined by the academy as "something amusing from a perspective that differs from what the author intends." The award covers not just conspiracy theory or pseudoscience but also includes historical revisionism as well as atheists or scientific sceptics who make rather biased attacks toward the former. The members of Togakkai included religious figures as well as scientists and other academics. In Japan, this genre has superseded similar activities of scientific sceptics.

    Sitting down to a meal without a tall glass of water would be like sitting down to a meal without a napkin -- unthinkable. For me.

    I feel the same way. I never realized so many people ate without drinking -- it's unthinkable to me. When I have to eat on a plane and they give the food before the beverages I always sit there with my food untouched until the beverage comes, because I need my water. (Like I said, I hadn't realized this was weird. Oh, well.)

    Do you know what's helped my digestive issues? Drinking 16-24 fl oz of water as I eat with every meal. Not only do I have less abdominal pain, I feel more full with less food.

    Our bodies need water to work properly.

    I have to drink water while I eat because the food gets stuck in my chest. Maybe because I don't break it down much .
    Do you eat a lot of dry food? I find I have to have water if I'm eating dryer food like bread or potatoes. No matter how much I chew sometimes it just gets stuck.

    Naw I think most times I am just greedy and eating too fast.

    I usually have a low sodium V8 with breakfast, water with lunch, and wine with dinner...sometimes beer, just depends on what we're having.

    Yeah, and it says:
    There's no concern that water will dilute the digestive juices or interfere with digestion. In fact, drinking water during or after a meal actually aids digestion.

    Water and other liquids help break down food so that your body can absorb the nutrients. Water also softens stool, which helps prevent constipation.
    which is pretty much the opposite of what you were saying above, isn't it?

    Above I said what I had read in a book by a MD. This last quote was from what another MD. I do not know which MD is correct. It is my guess they are both correct and both are wrong in a general sense.

    Unless jam eating out/fast food/high sodium I don't drink when I eat. Not for any other reason then its just how I have always ate. If I'm eating I'm not really that thirsty.

    Drinking a cup of water before eating a meal can help with issues like GERD and hiatal hernias. It sounds like woo but actually one preventive treatment, especially for the hernias, is to drink a cup of water and walk around a few minutes. It weighs the stomach down and prevents it from sliding up through the hiatus when food is added.

    This.

    You could be both right and wrong in saying that.

    Solid as hydrogen? That was cold to say.
    Gale's probably so cold, he causes heat damage /

    I find a glass of Single Malt scotch greatly enhances digestion.
