Indigestion

Can just water give you indigestion please?

  • Hello and thanks for posting.

    You asked if water can cause indigestion which is also called dyspepsia. Water would generally help dilute any excess stomach acid rather than cause it to be worse.

    The NHS has good information about indigestion with useful self management tips. You can seek advice from your local pharmacist who can recommend medications to take to help. If symptoms still persist after trying medications, then do seek the advice of your GP.

    I hope that you get this sorted out soon,

    Best wishes,
