3. Banana
Another food to avoid combining with water is bananas. You should avoid drinking water immediately after eating a banana as it can cause severe indigestion. Drinking water makes bananas hard to digest, therefore always wait for about 30 minutes for drinking water.

5. Citrus Fruits
Citrus fruits are high in fibre and vitamin C, which when combined with water can cause interruption in the absorption of nutrients and digestive juices by the body. Usually, when you eat citrus fruits like oranges, lemons or others, your stomach releases certain acids to maintain pH level. But when you drink water over citrus fruits, it may cause disturbance in pH level causing indigestion, bloating etc.
