Posted on Sat, 19 Jul 2014
Question: I drank some distilled water this morning after waking up and had to vomit after 15 min. Still not feeling well, stomach upset. Do you think drinking the distilled water may have anything to do with it?
Kind regards, XXXXXXX

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Thank you for the query.

The water could cause vomiting if it was contaminated. Otherwise it is just a coincidence and the main reason is some stomach problem like peptic ulcer or stomach inflammation (even if there is no pain).
Please start probiotic intake, have mild diet and see if this will help. If not, consult your doctor and consider gastroscopy.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.

Regards.
