A new way for me to enjoy water!

[Ayeshia]

Well I went to the doc and i found out that i have IBS (irritable bowl syndrome) so of course he advised me to drink more water...and he suggested seltzer water, carbonated water. He said its totally the same as regular water and the carbon dioxide in the water aids in the digestion process better so thats more of a plus. I purchased sum at a grocery store and it ws about .84 cents per bottle at one liter...it tastes like regular soda with out the sugar and it has assorted flavors from natural fruit. But it has absolutely nuthing it it (no calories,Sodium,carbs,or sugars all natural no artificial sweeteners). Now I kinda look more forward to drinking water...anybody else drinks seltzer water as well?

I have ibs and I would warn you stay away from anything carbonated. It will make it ten times worse-- trust me!

I don't know about the carbonation for IBS either, I remember reading that it was bad but anyway, I do like flavored carbonated water.

Actually it is working for me i feel a lot better, he said it's best to drink it while i eat, Ive had this problem since i was 3 and sprite and water was always my cure for constipation lol...Im one of those cases where it does actually work.

Yeah it usually doesn't effect people for a while and then slowly-- it messes people up!

I've learned that most doctors are not trained in nutrition. Carbonated water is not the same as water and the body processes it differently. I stay away from all carbonated drinks, like soft drinks, and carbonated water.

Oh I forgot to mention. There is this product called flavors to go-- they have no carbs, no fat no calories, no nothing. They are really potent and come in a variety of flavors and you drop 8 drops in water and it tastes like juice. Well I sweeten it with stevia which also has no carbs and its pretty good. Maybe you should give it a try.

Wow! Thanks Luvhair for your post. I love the taste of water but I'm going to pass this along to some friends who hate drinking water. The ingredients for Flavors 2 Go look very safe for consumption. I found the site at:
