Guest guest Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 FIrst off - Most of us don't have acid in our pouches, that's true. But acid doesn't absorb acid, anyway. And liquids *don't* stay in the pouch. I *burp* to release carbonation, same as I did before surgery. Secondly - Colas, and coffee, and tea are all bad for iron absorption (they can impair absorption), and can make kidney stones. IF you have no history of stones, and drink *lots* of plain water, and keep them away from your iron caps, there is no reason not to have an occasional diet soda, coffee, or tea. There is no evidence that they harm us in any way . . . I'd love to see your studies, if you have 'em? From: ehmjc1014@... Subject: Re: Re: popcorn I For those of you who made the comment " I can drink soda " ...According to what my doctor said, you can train your pouch to tolerate anything. That goes for soda, more food, etc. The imprssion I am under, is that soda doesn't have any immediate problems, however, since there are no gastric acids in your pouch, there is nothing to absorb the carbonation. Therefore, after time, the carbonation eats away at the pouch. Be careful Mindi Hawkridge in Washington State. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
