Need your advise... When does sipping become easier? Every time I sip on anything, my stomach spasms terribly, thus making sipping very uncomfortable. I find myself not eating much of anything due to pain... Please tell me this gets better...

      It gets better Every day you'll notice an improvement. I kept forgetting to sip and was in agony after every gulp. Drinking is no problem at all now. Took me about 10-12 days I think.

    Lucky for me I haven't had any spasms and drinking hasn't been an issue. Hope the problem clears up soon. :)
