reflux and cold water

[Guest guest]

When you're having symptoms of reflux- does drinking cold water help

the acid go away? or drinking warm water= increase the acid?

This is what my 5 year old tells me about her reflux but I've never

heard anyone else describe it that way. SO I'm curious about others.

Thanks,

For me, either will dilute the acid and help. For me cold water

tightens me up, and warm water or other drinks opens me up. So maybe

cold is better if it tightens you up.

But I don't find any difference for me. But I only have the problem

when I do stupid things like eating late in the evening.

How aboutn COOL water?! I drink a glass of water from the tap, that

happens to be cool because we're on a aquifer system, an hour before

bedtime to rinse my pouch and dilute the acid. I don't suppose it

would really matter, though, since you will not have eaten for an

hour or two by then. I think ANY kinda water would rinse and dilute.
