I can't tolerate ice cold liquids anymore

A general advice would be to drink water at room temperature, and only water. The sodas have either a lot of sugar or artificial sweeteners, one of them is aspartame that can cause severe health problems. http://aspartame.mercola.com/ I don't feel good if I drink cold water - If I have to do it, I only take small sips or wait till it gets a bit warmer.

Im kinda like that with coffee here. I let the coffee sit 10-15 minutes before I drink it. Water and sodas. I only drink with out ice here. Have a great day there...

i love ice cold drinks. i can't drink anything room temperature or just a little cold. I actually put my water bottle half filled in the freezer then i can just put a bit of water at a time and it gets so cold that it almost freezes going down my through and that is the way i like my water.

I'm also finding it hard to drink cold drinks. My aunt used to say that cold drinks are bad for the stomach and that I would develop stomach problems if I drink it especially when I eat food. I don't know if I believe it but whenever I have a cold drink, I feel like I'm abusing my stomach. Now, I don't drink cold drinks. I think if you drink cold stuff, your body gets used to it but if you stop drinking cold drinks, it might shock you body if you suddenly drink an ice coke.

YOU are not the only one. I drink warm water even in the summer,so as to the classmates always misunderstand me,and wandering if i'm in physiological period. I never drink cold water even i'm thirsty.

Drinking too much cold beverage could be bad for your throat. This could cause swelling of your tonsils as well which will make it painful for you to swallow. So better take a bit warmer drinks.

anything that I eat that is hot makes me hot anything that is cold makes me cold.

Hi PointlessQuestions, I can still drink cold liquids but I don't drink it much anymore except for water or ginger ale. I like to drink warm water too, especially first thing in the morning,and I drink hot tea and once in awhile I'll have a coffee. Maybe it does have something to do with age. Blessings.

I have similar problems, except with warm drinks... There could be one of or several issues here... General sensitivity to the temperature A thermal generated allergic response Abnormalities with the esophagus and/or stomach including reflux Issues with sinuses Issues with the ear canal Dental issues

I think you should avoid cold foods and hot foods. Both are bad. I rarely drink very cold water. May be only three months in a year. Rest of the year, I drink water that is at room temperature.

Hi PointlessQuestions, that happens to me sometimes but only when I have fever. It can be a sign of sensitivity but it is always best to consult your doctor before coming up with our conclusion. I hope all will be well with your health. Have a great day to you

I have to have my drinks ice cold, or else I just want to puke. My friend is like this, she's in her mid 50's. Have you ever asked your doctor about it?.

i dont want to say age but maybe our bodies have become sensitive.i also stopped taking cold drinks eve in hot weather because i kept getting tonsils,now when its very cold i take hot or warm water and only do room temperature during warm climate.i also avoid soda and processed juices too because i believe the sugar is bad for my throat and would make me cough too.

I don't have any cold intolerance but I avoid drinking too much cold water. Maybe you are right, Its because of aging or what. YOU must see your doctor for any worst problem with that so he can give you options for your diet.

I've never been able to drink ice cold liquids. My throat closes up and I start coughing. Even ice cream, I'm ok with a cone because it goes down one lick at a time, but give me a dish of it, or one of those ice cream cakes, same thing... throat closes up.

You might want to get that checked. My friend who is 56 just got diagnosed as having developed an allergy to "cold". Not only can she not drink iced drinks but she can't be out in the cold for any length of time ....it can even be deadly. This came on rather sudden as we have up until now always taken turns buying each other's iced coffees. I had never heard of such an allergy but it really sucks. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cold-urticaria/DS01160 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_urticaria If you notice in the wikipedia article it does mention the intolerance for cold foods and beverages as a symptom.

I can't drink anything cold anymore. When I buy cola, tea, etc., I just leave it setting out. With stuff that has to be refrigerated like milk, when I pour a glass or use it in cereal, I have to wait a few minutes for it to get to a decent temp. And I don't use ice in anything.

I could never really drink it but mostly because of my teeth or cheeks/jaw..(sinus?) not quit sure. But I am able to swallow very hot drinks since I am a little child. Don't ask me why. If it comes to swallowing, I do have (always had) a problem with it esp. if I eat bread. For some reason I always choke in it after 2-3 bites, no matter what kind of bread it is. I make fruit smoothies too but we drink them at once, so no freezing. Just made some fruit-ice (well my daughter did) so not sure if I will try it since I am not that fond of ice-creams. I read somewhere that it's better to (always) eat/drink warm food so perhaps it's even better this way? Although I want to eat more raw food (perhaps one day no cooking anymore?). I don't know if your problem has to do with your age although muscles (your swallowing mechanism is one of them) will get less stronger the older you get. Perhaps this is still a temporary problem?
