  1. Hi everyone,

    I am having a weird reaction to water and would like some
    opinions on the subject. I am finding that whenever I drink
    water, it gives me dry mouth or makes me thirsty almost
    immediately after I drink it. If I drink something with
    flavor, like water with lemon, or punch, or a coke, I'm fine
    and plenty of saliva is produced and they seem to quench by
    thirst better.

    But with water, it almost drains me of saliva. I'm perplexed
    by this. I drink plenty of water, juices, cola, etc. Anybody
    know of any conditions where water would cause thirst,
    basically? I like water, drink plenty of
    it. It just makes me thirsty, lol. I'd like a healthy
    alternative to something like diet coke. I've found
    diet versions of cranberry juice so that's an idea.

    Thanks in advance,

    Larry

  2. Try drinking filtered water from the store. Take a gallon
    jug down to WalMart and buy a gallon of water. They
    generally have a refill machine at the front of the stores,
    where YOU refill the jugs.

    My thinking is that your water (you have been drinking) is
    contaminated with some hardness or softness impurity that
    causes that astringency in your palette/taste buds. Another
    possibility is that you are getting the odd taste reaction,
    as a consequence of some medication you may be taking (heart
    or BP medication, perhaps).
