BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 6 days agoWater gives you heartburn? I've never heard of that, that's odd. I occasionally get heartburn but oddly enough, it usually means I've been sitting down too long. Certainly it's exacerbated by stuff like pizza or too much coffee, but in any case, simply standing up for a few minutes helps me a lot.

The root cause is usually a weak lower esophageal sphincter. Water creates additional pressure in the stomach which causes acid reflux. For me anyway, this is only an issue if I haven’t eaten, drink water and then lay down. (It’s the laying down bit that is probably key.)
Eating non-junk, low acid foods actually helps relieve some heartburn for me in some cases.
