That alkaline water can help with nausea during pregnancy. I used to always get the alkaline water +electrolytes after my long runs, bc it just tastes like plain water. Off to stock up on some more!
No idea if it really works, but it certainly can't hurt!

We also had this discussion on TTC 35+ not too long ago. I think there was a source I found when I Googled alkaline water saying that it's the go to in Japan for MS & nausea.

Oh wow I've never even heard of it!

Thanks! My nausea is horrible and I'm desperate to try anything!

Supposedly alkalinity can also help with fertility

Full disclosure: It's not the most scientific or reliable of sources, just a theory, but I've actually met this Kangan water guy (he comes to our farmers' market sometimes). I usually just grab the alkaline water from TJ's but I know there are tons of websites that sell the stuff. I mean, I'm drinking water anyway, why not drink water that could potentially help, right?

Even if it's anecdotal, I want to know if this works for you. Alkaline water has to be healthier than ginger ale, man!

Well I was thinking about this: is alkalinity one of the properties of alkaseltzer?

Maybe this is why my cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches are sooo satisfying. :::Adds a Fiji water to the grocery list:::

Yeap. All antacids are.

[dc2london]

ok I bet that's why it settles the stomach then. Same reason as alkaseltzer.

I usually chug water during the night and wake up ready to puke, so tonight I'm going to put one of my bottles of alk. water on my bedside table and see if it makes any difference.

We will have to try this again. My H ate meat yesterday and I swear I can smell it coming out of his pores so nothing is helping ATM
