So a few weeks ago I started drinking cold lemon water first thing in the morning because I heard about all the health benefits. I follow it with my cup of coffee, because I'm an addict. Probably not the best idea. I've been having weird feelings like it's warm right in the middle of my torso right under where my ribs end. And I'm burling a lot, even when I haven't eaten. You think it's the lemon water? I started freaking out thinking it was something worse. I did see that it's not supposed to be cold, it's supposed to be warm. Thanks!

Citrus fruits tend to make your stomach acid a bit aggravated and can cause reflux but yeah it has lots of health benefits.
I recommend you squeezing half lemon juice in a lukewarm glass water, then drink it first thing in morning.
If you prefer drinking plain lemon juice then I recommend doing it with full stomach.
For example I am very sensitive with lemon juice, so I add it inside water then drink it. :)

Don't freak out, it's most likely your stomach is reacting to lemon then. My mom can't even drink it with water added, she just starts having cramps.

Lemon water aids in digestion. Doesn't surprise me that it's making you a little burpy. Maybe it's just your body adjusting.

Thank you. I never drink it by itself. I always mix it with cold water. I have to dilute it. I still freak out though. Obviously. :)

I started putting a drop of lemon essential oil in a bottle of cold water and definitely noticed gurgling and more burping. I quit doing cause I have GI issues as it is, so it bugged me. It is supposedly really good for you though.
