fizzy drinks

Can anyone tell me why we aren't supposed to drink carbonated drinks?  I'm having trouble keeping my vitamins down and find I do OK by putting Emergen-C in a little bit of cold tea.  At least I get some of my vitamins that way.  The Emergen-C is fizzy - is that a big deal?

Call Dr. OH's office, He has told me no carbonated drinks. I think it expands your tummy! You should come to my support group meeting and talk to some other Dr. OH's patients. Merrilou

Oh!  That's not a good thing!!! I'd love to go to your support group meeting but it's a long ways away and I'm working incredible hours these days - about 60 to 70 hours a week average.  Needless to say, I don't have much of a life outside of work!   Thanks for the reply.

Can I ask when & where the support group is? Thanks! Krista

Krista - Merrilou's group meets in Auburn on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.  It's a good group - smaller than Vitalady's, but great people!  You can call her for more info - her website is www.enjoyhealth.com  Her group meets at her house and they are in the south end of Auburn.  I think for May she is having a special speaker to discuss the lab results, etc.  Hope to see you there! ~Nancy~

My dr. said it dialates the stomach. Also it's hard to burp it. I lady i know said she has had a cpl of sips of coke and said it hurt her stomach (the carbonation). I get my vitamins by chewing up 4 flintstones childrens vitamins each day. Plus it feels like i'm having a bit of candy thru out the day. Also, it's good for your teeth and gums to get the vitamins right on them. A dentist told me that years ago. Good luck. Kristi

Thanks Kristi.  I appreciate the reply.

I get my vitamins with Target gummies.  They don't taste like vitamins!!!! They only thing is you have to eat 8, but that's like my candy for the day.
