      with each sip force air out before you swallow it. this helps. otherwise I get something akin to burps but only lasts about 6-8 burps. also do not use a straw

      This will happen a lot at the beginning...don't worry, it will get better. You're actually sucking in and don't realize it. @@Martha Parker-mcneal is right, blow out before you drink and that will hel

    So the package says not to exceed 8 strips in 24 hours. I feel like I need more than that. Has anyone taken more?
