Does Crystal Lite and the fruity protein drinks like Isopure make your acid reflux worse? Just wondering??

I have found that the lemonade crystal light does give me a little heartburn, but not enough to keep me from drinking it.

I have never had either of those drinks but I drink the sugar free walmart brand stuff and its doesnt cause heartburn. If I eat any thing with more then 5 carbs I feel the burn though

If I drink plain Water its like a stupid brick in my gut, I dislike plain water. The only way I can drink water is with some additive to make it less dense.

The only thing that truly gives me heartburn is carbs and sugar. Things I avoid anyway.

Do whats best for you. Good luck!

Anything with citrus acid usually gives me acid reflux so I am concerned about the fruity drinks. I guess I'll have to try them. Funny though sodas don't bother me at all.

Hi Wigster,

Crystal Light gives me the worst heartburn (all flavors). I drank it for about a week and had to eat about 6 Pepcid chewables every day. It's tough to drink plain Water and I haven't found a good non-heartburny alternative.

My surgeon is concerned that with the sleeve surgery that my acid reflux will get considerably worse and I am worried about that. I know myself and I know that after awhile the chocolate and strawberry and vanilla shakes will get old and I will want something different so was thinking about the Isopures. But if they are really acidic then they will not be a good option for me. I don't get sleeved until March 17th so I am trying to nail down my options before surgery. Thanks for the replies!

YES YES YES AND IT DOES NOT MATTER THE FLAVOR, THEY ALL MAKE THE REFLUX KICK UP! UGH
