I was wondering why not include "I hate water" as a Lyme symptom?
I hate water too. Drinking water makes my stomach uncomfortable. However, I like vegetable juice or Salt/C water. Those actually improve my symptoms

coconut water...I go to Amazon.com..On this site so it helps here...And I have a prime account ,because I get out so seldom...
Anyway... The plain is ,well, plain. I don't like the pineapple flavor...BUT the mango, pomegranate and others are fine...It taste a lot better cold... It just has essence of the flavor, so minimal sugar.
PLUS it is high in Potasium and a bunch of other good for you thing's..
There are so many days I've been so sick ,that getting any food or water in me was hard.
So when I had this stuff at least I was a little fortified.
It might take a couple of tries ,but worth it.
Hope it helps, Nonna Posts: 2563 | From Denver,CO | Registered: Aug 2011

Since having Lyme, we've become great collectors of Liquid Stevia drops in all kinds of flavors. We keep a gallon jug of water in the fridge, flavored with a few drops of the flavour du jour, and it's great. We drink it down like, well, like water...

I'm a big fan of seltzer. Lemon, lime, or cramberry flavored (no calories.)
Takes a couple of weeks to get used to it but then you will be hooked.

- Without water, we die. Without water, our brains shrink and cells die. Without water, we invite kidney disease.
And people die around the world every day for lack of water - or for lack of clean water. Some have walk miles just for a drink, to bathe, etc. Even in some parts of the U.S., some people have to haul in water.
But, for those who have water but have an aversion to it (which can be for understandable reasons as lyme can change so much with our brain function),
I'm just not sure it's a good thing to drink ONLY liquids that have flavors added, even if real from fruit or stevia.
It can set us up for obesity to have all liquids be sweet, even if with stevia. It's not natural to have sweetness all the time - for human have consumed water as its main liquid for all of time. Our brains need to taste pure water as much as our kidneys require it for most of the liquid they use.
So, I go for pure water for 70% of my liquid consumption. I do like it, but that is not a requirement for such a life giving liquid that all I have to do is pour down my throat.
Just a few drops of lemon or lime, though, can help and, alone, won't start a dependency on sweet water.
Water tastes better with my 10 stage Enviro New Wave countertop water filter.
Just saw this. Maybe more real food will help develop a taste for pure water:
