Soda

I was just wondering if any of you have issues with soda. For me, it's horrible to my insides and I can't tolerate it at all. I haven't had it in years but Sunday night I found myself in the ER and my GI wanted them to do a CT. The prep drink was mixed in with diet 7up and it immediately sent me into a downward spiral of intense pain and vomiting/nausea. I didnt know if it was just me that has issues with soda, or if other crohnnies have it too. Thanks! :)

No, I've had soda for years.

I haven't had a soda since February because I was bloating, having trouble with strictures, and having issues with a SIBO. So, I cut out food and beverages that could contribute to that.

Just haven't had much of an urge to jump back into sodas, but have been enjoying the variety of flavors of gatorade and powerade.

i lived on mtn dew in college- as i'm sure tons of people do...
now i can't touch the bubbles. if i drink sold (and this may be total coincidence) but it seems like i bleed soon after.
i just stay away from the stuff. i drink water or tea and that's pretty much it...plus once i stopped drinking whiskey there wasn't much reason to have coke or ginger ale around anymore!

My GI says soda is TERRIBLE for my and my crohns, it's the air bubbles that do me in.

i am right with you with the soda... I seem to get a tummy ache right after... I know not to drink dark sodas because of the caffeine but as for the fuzzy ones i do manage to get sick right after drinking it, I have even gotten sick on ginger ale.... :( so i guess its another thing to add to our list of things we cant consume....

Love it but can't drink it. For me it's not so much the carbonation; it's the high fructose corn syrup / artificial sweetener / caramel coloring. To satisfy a craving for bubbly or if my stomach is feeling yucky I indulge in a bottle of Perrier (lemon and lime flavors are delicious!) It's pricey, though, so more like a special treat rather than an everyday thing.
