Water

[Guest guest]

I am not , but if water tastes metallic, it can and often does indicate

the development of a marginal ulcer.. I had a marginal ulcer early post op and

my doc at the time didnt listen to my complaints.. so my ulcer became very

painful as it perforated, spread to the backside of my liver and caused me to

develop peritonitis.. So, if water doesnt taste right.. or tastes metallic, get

scoped right away.. marginal ulcers are easily treated if diagnosed early.

Take care

Take care

hugs,

Are there any other symptoms of a marginal ulcer? And what did the doc

put you on when you had one.

Hi, I've read a few times now that drinking water is extremely important

while doing sbd. Is there any reason why it's so important?

thanks,

What he says about water though is

concurrent with the latest research on how much water you need a day. But

everyone needs to do what feels best to them!

" What did he

say about water? "

Dr A say's that you get a lot of the water

that is needed from the fresh fruits & fresh vegetables on the SBD & he

also say's that liquids in other drinks also count as water consumption

& he also say's that MOST people drink enough water naturally &

get enough from the foods they eat & the liquids they drink, & so he

does not agree with saying that everyone needs to drink at least 8 glasses of

water daily & there is NO set amount of water that he recommends per day

for most people who eat & drink normally.

There are those on this & other lists

who choose to disagree some things Dr A writes.. I, personally, feel that

if they want to have their own personal opinions, that is their option,

but they should post to the SBD lists clearly stating those are their personal

opinions & not those of Dr A who disagrees with their personal beliefs

& personal opinions & whose diet the rest of us try to follow. I

do not understand people on SBD who decide most of the diet is correct but

things they personally do not agree with must mean that everyone else should

not believe Dr A & should believe their own personal opinion &

beliefs. This is not the only SBD list that has people who choose to make

up their own rules about water ( & now also stevia). As I said,

everyone makes their own personal choices & those are OK for them, but I do

not understand why they think their own personal beliefs & opinions belong

on a list supposedly about the South Beach Diet as written by Dr A & that

they post these personal opinions of theirs as if they are part of this diet,

but they not the beliefs or opinions of the man who wrote the book that most of

us try to follow right.
