What is your soft drink of choice ?

I think ice tea is ok, but I like ginger ale sometimes. I miss a 7up! But because they say no carbonated drinks and I don't drink fruit juice, I just don't have many choices!

What do you drink (besides water) for soft refreshment?

GInger Ale take the bubbles out.
Great for upset stomach!

McDonald's ice tea. It tastes great and doesn't have other ingredients like citric acid, etc. I usually drink the unsweetened version but sometimes mix in a little stevia to it or add some of the sweet tea to spice it up. McDonald's uses real sugar in their tea while most sodas have high fructose corn syrup or artificial sweeteners that tear up my gut.

Anyway it doesn't seem to affect my blood sugar levels. And that is the real reason why I am so careful about my diet. I am not worried so much about UC as that I am pre-diabetic. For the past 5 years I have been measuring my fasting blood sugar levels first thing every morning. One can of soda will elevate my levels for several days. No doubt if I continued to drink soda and eat candy like I used to then I would have crossed over into diabetes a long time ago.

Interesting that I discovered not only does gluten affect my UC but it also spikes my blood sugar levels. Then I found research that there is indeed a correlation. Look it up.

I drink pepsi, coke, or mug rootbeer occasionally as a treat. It doesn't bother my uc any, I could drink it all day if I wanted to. However, I choose to limit my intake because it just so darn unhealthy (all of the sugar and calories).

Gingerale and my one daily Diet Coke (I can't give it up!)

I stopped drinking pop in 10th grade. I knew it wasn't good for me, so it wasn't really a big deal.

I used to love coke and cream soda. And obviously, when I went to fast food places or the movies, I mixed all the pops together from the machine!!!

I can drink just about anything but I can't drink fruit juices, especially orange juice.

i like ginger ale once in a while. they have really awesome green tea with lemon flavor drinks now too that i love. i've never been huge on pop though, it was always a "special occasion" thing for me.

Since I achieved remission about 4 years ago, I drank very little carbonated soft drinks, and then only the diet kind because of my pre-diabetes. Usually when I got fast food, and got a small or medium diet cola from the fountain. Then a couple of months ago I went on a Diet Pepsi binge, and drank a few Diet Pepsis per day. Then I started flaring.

I stopped drinking the stuff, and now have half a 36 pack taking up room in my refrigerator. Still flaring, but I’m hopeful that it’ll gradually clear up. The amount of mucus and blood I’ve been passing has decreased greatly in the past couple of days, so I’m hoping the worst is over.

Welcome back Dude...bwahahahaaaaaaaaa!


Never diet anything.

Rarely have soft drinks, but I'd have lots of ice and stir out most of the bubbles.

I like Ginger Beer cut with ice/water (sans bubbles) when I'm pigging out on air-popped popcorn :-d
But Coke or Pepsi or Ginger Ale is fine too.

Cream soda Zevia

Jamie Oliver style Ginger beer (and Lemon water).

Somedude,
Think twice before showing up in front of Soystud :)

I like G2. Rare occasions out I have a Pepsi. But pay the price latter.

By the way, is G2 okay or could it cause D. Because I'm still trying to get the D under control.
