1/2hr water break after a meal. how important?

[seank02]

I like to take my fish oil pills right after a meal other wise i forget about them, and i usually down 16oz. of water with it. What is the downfall of drinking water right after a meal?

None that I am aware of, but I'm far from an expert here. I'd be interested to see what some of them have to say on this.

If you drink too much water during and after eating you have the potential of washing away your natural digestive enzymes.

I posted much the same question back in June. Read this.

PS. I don't think you need 16oz of water for a few fish oil caps. 4oz or 8oz would probably be more than enough to wash 'em down. That's all you need to do, as far as I know.

What happens to the food if there is not enough digestive enzymes?

You don't fully absorb all nutrients, poopin' them out instead.
