That line is basically a clickbait teaser, and the claim itself isn’t really accurate in general.
For most people, drinking water on an empty stomach is completely normal and safe—in fact, it’s often recommended first thing in the morning because it can help with hydration after sleep.
The only times it might feel “difficult” are when someone has:
- a sensitive stomach (water can briefly cause nausea in some people)
- acid reflux or gastritis
- drinking very cold or large amounts of water too quickly
So it’s not that “empty stomach water is difficult” as a rule—it depends on the person and how they drink it.
If you saw this as part of a list or article, I can break down the rest of the claims too.
