water sickness?

[redswr]

Hey guys ive never been able to drink that much water wIthout getting nauseated and I'm trying to figure out what's wrong. I try to get at least a liter a day now which is still rare but yesterday I went to the track and rode 3 motos and ended up drinking a gallon on the day without any sickness at all. Anyone else like this?

Hey Red! Good to see you back. Personally, I drink a boatload of water -I never go to bed without a half liter of water beside my bed. Hydration is your friend

Thanms man

Yeah I can't drink anything within a couple hours of bed or it'll come up... I have a hiatial hernia that may be causing that part of it but just when I'm walking around at work it gets to where I may heave

This is one thing I learned. While in Army boot camp. I have also gotten very sick. The Military force the recruits to drink a shit load of water. They also give us the salt tabs. You may find this interesting to read.

Yes, I was surprised that my son told me they used it in the Marine Core boot camp.

Hmm seems like the opposite of what I'm going through even though salt helps... when I'm active I have no problems with water, when I'm just at workor lounging around it makes me sick

Its one of the best sources of hydration there is, I usually drink a bottle or 2 leading up to the weekend of a race and then dump one and then the rest water for my hydration pack.

Red, you have to remember not to mix Scotch with your water when you're working.

Thats the only way I'll ever get crap done!

In Airborne School they made us drink this electrolyte drink mix called Cerasport. You will feel great but it tastes like salted ass.

You should definitely be drinking more than a liter of water if you can. Also, hydrate before, during, and after exercise. That adds up to a lot of h2o.

So basically, hydrate as much as you can and replenish electrolytes.

I have never heard of being sick from water like you. What do you drink in replace of water?

You need more electrolytes, people crave electrolytes

I usually dont drink that much of anything... mostly beer but that's just Fri/sat nights like 4 or 5... maybe 3 coffees a week and then occasional soda. Poweraid or Vitamin water at lunch at work.
