ICE COLD DRINKS

I too have never heard that cold drinks were bad or harmful to my pouch. Drinks that aren't ice cold (full of ice) I can't tolerate. I have to have my drinks real cold. Like Sharon, I put ice even in my protein drinks when I blend them. And I freeze one bottle (plastic usually 32 oz.) of water in the freezer at all times, so I can always have ice water to drink. I pull it out of the freezer and let it thaw either in the fridge or out, and put a new one in to freeze in its place. My goal is to drink most if not all of 2 of these bottles. I love my ice water, as well as, iced tea and other SF beverages. Iced drinks don't hurt me. Not having iced drinks would hurt me because I wouldn't take in enough fluids. But like any other fluid, I can't gulp it down like I used to, or else PAIN. And yes regarding soda pop drinks...the reason we can't have them is because the carbonation will expand and (I found out) be painful. I was told to let it go flat before drinking it. When I have gone out to eat iced tea or ice water is my beverage (30 minutes after eating).

Everything I drink except my Coffee in the AM is ICE COLD with as much Ice as possible... ALL DAY... try the ice it may help you get your fluids if you don't already... (((HUGS))) Dori
