Why Does Water Make Me Sick?
in Anatomy, Physiology and Neuroscience
Posted
When I was young we had what I would call 'sweet water' which I could drink all day, except if it were from an aluminum tumbler [which somehow our family had acquired some anodized aluminum tumblers in 5 different colors and each of 5 children had one] so I just drank from a polyethylene one instead, but I had no problems of any kind until some uncertain point later in life.
I do have IBS but I have been on an almost steady regimen for 17 years controlling it with pantoprazole and having had the problem from before, and during, I could not tell any changes with or without my medication as to the response to pure water.
I want to say I lean toward the electrolyte deficiency school of thought because simply adding lemon to water seems to help me some.
I must remark though, water in many restaurants is thoroughly carbon filtered, and in those cases I have no problem with it, so perhaps if I just put a screw-on filter on my water tap, perhaps I will be able to live without the problem.
As a chemical engineer I have to agree with this.![:)](https://www.scienceforums.net/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png)
Water is only water and the only 'structured' water is ice, and to be ultimately accurate, ice formed by a human who is building something like an igloo because natural crystal lattices, although they have a natural form of 'structure' such as a snow flake, are not so 'structured' outside of their natural polar affinity as to be in any way more 'structured' when you melt them, returning them back to a normal liquid state as randomly moving free motion molecules.
