A member asked:
Is it really better for digestion to not drink liquid with meals?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Unless there is a problem with partial stomach removal, usually for ulcers. The change in anatomy can make a difference. Weight loss surgery (gastric bypass) is a special case which limits amount and volume of food and drink. Most people don't need to separate liquids from solids; gut has large reserve capacit to deal with it.
