5year old will not drink

We have a five almost six year old who HATES drinking, is always dehydrated and gets tired and moody. Within 10mins of forcing water down her she bounces back and is fine!!!
We have also noticed that she favours acidic drinks (orange juice/lemon and lime), she can happily suck on a lemon! She cannot keep milk down (a mightmare as a baby!!) and dislikes most alkaline drinks (apple juice etc).
She eats well and is a healthy weight and height.
Has anyone else had a similar problem ??
Thanks in advance.

can you not put a large splash of lemon juice in her water?

Thanks. I am more interested in anyone who has an 'acidic' child and whether they have sought medical advice or something more natural etc.
