Drinking water helps neutralize and rinse out stomach acid that has refluxed into the

esophagus. If you have acid reflux, drink at least six to eight glasses of water everyday before
meals. Avoid drinking water during meal time as this can worsen acid reflux symptoms.Aug

When should you drink the alkaline water?

Drink the alkaline water in place of other liquids any time 1-hour before and 1-hour after meals.

What about during meals?

Since your stomach should be acidic during digestion, only drink small sips or small amounts of
normal tap water during the meal.

What if I begin to feel symptoms?

As soon as you feel any symptoms, begin drinking the alkaline water and consume 6 to 8-ounces
at a rate that is comfortable to you – preferably over five to fifteen minutes. If you engaged in a
large meal and feel bloated, you may prefer to sip the water at a slower rate.

Can anti-reflux medication be taken as well?

Try to avoid the use of antacids or acid reducers (if you can) to determine the effect of the
alkaline water on your symptoms. However, everyone is different so you should feel free to take
medications if you need them to manage your symptoms.

What if I have nighttime symptoms?

Like antacid or acid reducers, alkaline water will have a short-term impact on your symptoms.
However, we suggest you drink the equivalent of 6 to 12 ounces of alkaline water over several
hours before bedtime. If you wake up during the night, we recommend you take a few sips of
alkaline water at that time as well.
