Water problems, suggestions needed

I make sure I drink at least 8 glasses of water everyday. Today when I try to drink water it is really upsetting my stomach. I have stopped drinking pretty much everything else and stick to plain cold water. I stopped adding flavors a while back so plain water is not new to me.

Any suggestions? Or ideas? I would really appreciate any help!

    This happens to me sometimes. For a few days I don't feel sick, but most foods smell/taste horrible to me and I can't drink water. Try drinking tea, especially any that contain ginger. Sip it slowly though. If you're like me and can't eat either, go ahead and drink the ginger ale. The ginger will help your stomach, and heck, if you're not getting calories anywhere else...

    If it lasts more than a week, see your doctor.

    What kind of water are you drinking?

    I always drink my water , with a few teas , so I'll "taste" something different than water. Since I've been doing this, I don't have any problems with my stomach at all!

    What just happened to me is I can't drink cold water anymore. I don't like it... maybe try room tempature ...

    Filtered as in you have a Brita pitcher or another brand? If so, maybe it's time to change the filter. Does the bottle water taste funny?

    Trying drinking a bottle of sparkling water to see if it makes a difference.

    cold water upsets my stomach, maybe you need a bit warmer temp all of a sudden? I agree that if it lasts a while it is worth it to see your doc. gotta make sure your tummy is ok!
