just been sick, now my throats burning and when i drink water it tatstes like sugery syrup

[robinredbreastbirdie]

whats going on, why is the water tasting like sugar syrup?

normal i think. probably something to do with the acid. nasty though

do you have hard water in your area?

i feel so sick, yes i think its a hard water area.

does the aid make watr taste sugary? this really is horrible

it is a chemical reaction between the stomach acid and the hard (alkali) water.

oh thanks kiskidee, i thought it was normal

but was just worried something seriously weird was happening to me.

completely harmless btw.

thanks nigella too.

is there anything else i can drink to take th taste away?

a tsp of baking soda (an alkali) in a glass of water. it will also help to settle your stomach.

not sure - i've ahd this too. what about weak juice? at least that is supposed to be sweet. do you have a bug?

thanks, i don't even have any baking soda

i dont know if i have a bug, i just started being sick.
