Why does water give me heartburn?.....(ZT)

I'm not kidding, when I drink water I get the worst heartburn. I've always had this issue which is why I don't drink water like I should. 

I'm trying to make better choices which includes giving up diet soda and other drinks but I don't know if I can handle drinking the water and suffering the results. 

Tell me this happens to other people and more importantly tell me there is something I can do about it!

Answer:1)
Happens to me sometimes too. I was once told that if you drink too much of it at a time, for some people it will spill upward and cause reflux symptoms.
2)
Heartburn is caused by acid leaking back into the esophagus because of partial relaxation of the valve between it and the stomach. Generally it is caused by fatty or spicy food, both of which cause the valve to relax. 

If a person drank a great deal of water and then compressed the stomach, or if the valve was relaxed otherwise, the acid/water mixture could rise through the valve and definitely cause a burning sensation. If this happens often, it would be a good idea to speak to a doctor about it. Acid reflux can cause serious long-term problems.
