carbonation

I  know  my Dr. has said no carbonated drinks.  Is this just because of the "bubbles' and makes you uncomfortable, or  can it cause damage to your pouch.   I have tried them.  Some  days they are ok, others not.  Just wondering. 

Some people can tolerate them and others can't. From what I've heard it is possible that it may stretch the pouch.  I drink carbonated drinks every now and again but I let it sit in lots of ice and allow the "bubbles" to escape first. 

I'm no help .... I haven't tried any .... I'mm still trying to just get 64 ounces of liquid in.... tea seems to be working really good for me.

From what I have read unless you drink about 40 ounces of  coke a day, it won't stretch your pouch.

When you drink carbonated beverages, the concern is that the gas from the carbonation will stretch out your pouch.  However, the pouch is NOT an isolated closed bit of stomach.  It has two openings, and if you have some gas it will pass one way or the other.  Nevertheless, for safety sake—if your surgeon says no carbonation—then do not drink carbonated beverages.

Hope this helps...............
