    When I first started working out and eating healthy, I hated water. Drinking it made me gag and my stomach would bother me when I drank too much. It just takes getting used too. I carry around a 32oz water bottle w me all day, and just sip on it all day and eventually I'll finish it. Try filling a cup with ice and water and using a straw..it helped me. And I also flavored my water for months in the beginning to get used to it. Now I dont drink anything BUT water. My high intensity cardio workouts also helped with the water problem, I easily drink 2 water bottles at the gym.

    that happened to
    me too but I kept drinking it and now that is all I drink (except a Mai Tai here or there!)
    it just takes used to and the benefits to your health are way worth it!!

    Do you think you may be drinking too much at once? That's the only time it makes me feel sick.

    Well at the moment im geting through half a bottle of water which is 600ml keep in mind im still cuting down on the soft drink ill have one can of coke usually gone by the arvo from there ill get my 600mml water out and it will last me to the end of the day but its usually still half full just because of the stomach aches. So no im not really drinking to much at once

    I had massive heartburn for weeks after drinking water. Took a special blend for me to get over it!

    Google "Prevention Fire Water or Sassy Water"
    Make the mixture and drink 1 jug of the stuff a day.

    Its all I drink now is water!
    Water
    Water
    Water
    =D

    Oh and the brita filtered jug is amazing too!

    Here is the sassy mixture...
    8. 5 CUPS WATER
    1 TSP/ GRATED GINGER
    1 MED. CUCUMBER
    1 MEDIUM LEMON
    12 SPEARMINT LEAVES

    For Fire water you exchange the lemon for a lime and add 3 shakes of tobasco.


    COMBINE EVERYTHING AND LET IT STAND IN FRIDGE OVERNIGHT. DRINK ALL WATER THROUGHOUT NEXT DAY

    I drank Fire water for a month straight.
    The ginger and spearmint helps soothe the lower GI.
    The tobasco helps with the metabolism.
    cucumber and lime make it taste really good.
