A few people with lyme told me to not drink ice cold liquids,and no liquids with meals. Digestion issues,etc. I have been trying it,but it feels like it does not get down as smooth without liquid. I wait 10 minutes and then drink room temp water.

thanks

Yes, this is funny but when I was a toddler they would always take away my drink until I ate....LOL I've never been a big eater but apparently if I drank first I would get "full" and not eat. It is sad that I remember that when I was 3, it must have really frustrated me!

The reason for this is if you drink water with your meals it neutralizes the PH in your stomach and inhibits appropriate digestion. Not sure if this is the case if you drink other things but I've gotten so used to not drinking with my meals! They say to wait 30 mins after finishing a meal before drinking water if you have digestion issues.

I have hear that also, but most people get thirsty while they are eating. I know I do. I was told just take a little sip if you have to.
