So, why does water hurt? It’s rarely a big medical issue. It’s usually a theater of errors: speed, temperature, and air.
Your stomach is a quirky organ. It has moods. Respect its boundaries.
Try warm water. Sip slowly. Add a lemon slice. Make it a ritual, not a race.
You are not weird. You’re just learning the secret language of your gut. Next time, your belly and you can be best friends. Cheers to that—with a room-temperature glass.
