It seems like everytime I drink water anymore that my stomache will start aching really bad and I will get really gassy. It will hurt really bad like if you where sick or something. It has been going on for a couple of days first I thought it was I needed more protein but I don't know if that's the case any more... A couple days last week I drank about 4-6 bottles of water for a day or two when usually I don't drink much. Could that have ruined something? Is it because it wasn't used to drinking that much water or what? Please help me if possible...

Well, it is filtered 5 times before I drink it but it sits in a huge tank so I thought it might be old water so I cleaned it out like 2 days ago could my stomache still hurt if it was dirty? Or would it be gone by now?

Ok, try an experiment. Instead of drinking water from your tank try bottled water (one brand don't change) solidly for one week. Then if you keep feeling off consult your dr.

It appears that u need to get a routine test of your urine and stool examined. Also u need to BOIL water for about 30 minutes in order to kill the bacteria and then filter the water to remove other suspended solids.Allow the water to cool down. aviod drinking cold water if u are not used to it. This should help u. Drink water slowly and frequently. About 2 to 2.5 litres per day is fine.All the best and take care.

I've had the same problem for the past three weeks. It's probably not the water, but an intestional reaction to the bacteria already in your system naturally. Try drinking a big glass of cultured buttermilk or yogurt. They will break up the "bubbles" and make your life a lot easier.

Might want to check on the water quality 1st. If your getting "gassy", might be because ur drinking it too fast or "chugging" it down . This can sometimes cause a person to swallow lots of air along with the water, try sipping water down slowly and in instead of drinking lots of water at one time, try drinking small amt at a time and spread it throughout the day.

get teated for parisites or bacteria because a lot of them can be passed through water. Also make sure to clean and disinfect all the water containers and especially filters, because even though you change the water and clean them, they can still hve bacteria growing on them. I would recomend flushing them with water for at least 15 min, before using.

If you drink bottle water, maybe there is a chemical leaking into the water you drink. Most plastic bottles have carcinogens that leak slowly into what you drink..

if you drink well water then turn around ansd drink city water it will hurt when you mix them. if you are a caffeine addict then suddenly try to stop then drink water then you will hurt. but if that is not the case i would find a new water source and try that and see if you still hurt if not chances are your regular water is contaminated.

Not enough information. What else are you eating? Sounds like you might be having an adverse reaction to something else. Are you lactose intolerant? The symptoms you described would be in line with that.

when i was a kid playing baseball, the coach told us to drink water at room temperature. drinking cold water when you are overheated can cause stomach cramps. is that what happened to you?

Have you tried drinking slower? Or room temperature water?
