Hi everyone...
I understand that we need to drink a lot of water. But sometimes I need something else to drink (other than tea). Any advice on drinks? I like to make homemade lemonade (real lemons, sugar and water) is that safe? I guess I am not clear on how sugar affects our tummys. Does the acid from lemons and oranges have a negative effect as well? Also, what about flavored ice teas like peach snaple (I know no artificial sweetners) and "all natural" drinks?
Any advice?
Thanks
Olivia

Hi Oliva,
I asked this question a couple months ago and got some good ideas. Click here to see the post: web page

There are some good recipes for homemade drinks such as a peach lemonade in Eating for IBS. Cranberry juice is usually quite safe too.
The key is really the timing. The homemade lemonade with a meal of good SF base would probably be OK but on an empty stomach might be a different story!
I would avoid any iced tea with caffeine in it as caffeine is a huge trigger. Iced herbal tea is nice. Definately avoid carbonated drinks and alcohol.
Hope this helps,
