I have heard excess water can cause MORE C for some physical reason and Heather's advice about ice cold water really has helped me. I personally feel that the recommended amount of water is optimum. I also really notice my tummy ache if I drink ice cold water. I drink it but hold it in my mouth to warm up since I hate lukewarm water. But again the problems come about in my opinion when some people drink so little water (well most people) so we are told to drink a lot of water as in way more than you might be used to. But I have never heard anyone trustworthy and qualified claim a person should drink huge quantities. Like everything else it must be done in moderation. I weight 125 so I drink 60-70 ounces of water-less if I don't exercise. Someone 200 lbs should drink 100 oz but no more I should think. Hope this helps!
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
