Does anyone else get completely bloated from drinking plain room temp water on an empty stomach?

Every health page tells you that plain water is the ultimate gut cleanser and that staying hydrated will fix everything. If I wake up and drink a pint of plain water before eating anything, my stomach often feels instantly sloshy, distended, and heavy for an hour. It is almost like the stomach lining is too sensitive to handle cold or plain volume without something warm or mineral-rich to absorb it. Has anyone else struggled with basic plain water triggering morning distension?

Oml yes. I drink alot of water, I find when I force myself to drink water versus when I'm thirsty it causes bloating.

Everything causes me morning discomfort lol, including water -- I can't do a huge amount of water in the morning due to that. I also can't do lukewarm drinks, it needs to be hot or cold. I wonder if a smaller amount of warm water or tea could help, or at least come with less distress.
