Water taste bad to the point of vomiting.

This question is for others like me suffering from fibromyalgia. For a while now, I’ve noticed that certain brands of water I can’t drink. I’ve practically thrown up trying to drink waters like Poland Springs or Dasani. But, water from brands like VOSS Water and FIJI water are fine. Does anyone else have this issue? Or something similar to it?

Cannot say I have encountered this. I have preference for chilled water but happy enough with tap or any bottled. We do have good water up here though

No, it has never happened to me. Could it be something else instead of the fibro?

I don’t have this with water but about 6 months ago I can’t now abide the smell of alcohol and wretch at the smell of it, luckily we live in a dry house and I don’t frequent bars and pubs generally only to have meals with friends, so COVID at least has saved me from this 🤔.

A bit different here: I only occasionally drink pure water, teas etc. because it acts diuretic for me. I've also noticed I get heartburn from it. Soy milk doesn't either of these, I hope it stays that way. I've got used to the taste, thankfully, depends on the brand, too, but I don't know anyone who loves natural soy milk from the start..

I don't particularly like to drink tap water (I filter it for making teas) but I can't day I've ever had issues with bottled waters

Wondering if it's different levels of minerals in water, depending where it's sourced from that you can taste x

Yes, the mineral composition of bottled spring waters can alter the taste, and some can taste appalling. Some are also carbonated.

The one I use is a Welsh sparkling spring water called FFynnon Yr Ystog, and I get it from Tesco.
