You're gonna think I'm nuts but try a different brand of water. I found that I could only drink certain brands of bottled water and couldn't drink tap water all. It had to be ice cold. I think it is the mineral content. Unfortunately I don't remember which brand worked. Great Bear comes to mind. Experiment. What does the hospital use and can you drink that?
Take care,
Eileen
