My doctor said that I can have diet coke in moderation because there is not enough evidence to support the claim that carbonation expands the pouch. He did say that it was better to drink the carbonated beverage on an empty stomach. I drink diet pepsi in a glass with ice and I sip it slowly. No problems so far.
