This never happened to me. I think Silverfox would wisely recommend diluting the Miracle-Mineral-Supplement /acid solution with more juice or water. I always use 1/2 cup of water. I also use lime to activate the Miracle-Mineral-Supplement . I don't think it hurts to use more water. The hope is that the Miracle-Mineral-Supplement will be able to be picked up by the bloodstream at the lining of the stomach. I suppose it would work if it gets to the upper digestive system too.
