Why does water hurt?
I know this probably sounds crazy, but it hurts when I drink water. Even if its a small sip. It just feels really scratchy as it goes down. I can drink unsweetened almond milk (w/added protein), de-caf coffee, tea, protein shakes, etc, bu****er just plain hurts. Any idea why?

This also becomes a problem with swallowing pills. I wasn't allowed to swallow any for 2 months and after that when I could I started on some vitamins that I had to swallow. I found that I had to drink so much water to swallow them, I was kind of nauseated. I now just take all chewable vitamins.

Mandy, I'm still new at this but it sounds like maybe you are taking in some air or maybe the sips are too large? At least thats how I feel when I take in air or gulp liquid - it gives me pain and pressure around my sternum area. Plain water just feels "scratchy" at it goes down.
