Is Emergen-C OK to have? I know it’s “fizzy,” but the fizz dissipates really, really quickly.

I have it quite often. It’s okay for me! The whole thing about carbonation is how you can actually handle it. Probably best not to have it (in form of soda) but it won’t screw up your tummy (according to Dr Weiner). I’ll have to find the YouTube video. Some can’t handle the fizz, others can. BUT, having said that, you’re just three weeks out, let it all fizzle out (thankfully it’s not that bubbly) and then consume slowly. Or put it in a whole bottle of water and consume (this way it’s like a flavored drink -no bubbles at all)

I take black elderberry extract--the kind that has only the elderberry extract and glycerin in it. It's helped any time I've been exposed to cold or flu or when I first feel it coming on. It is 10cals per serving--I'm assuming most of those are carbs, so it would be max of 2.5g of carb per serving if it all was carbs. To me it works better than Emergen-C. It is liquid that you mix with a tiny bit of water.

Here's a link to the kind I get. I get the one that isn't sweetened or flavored with anything. https://www.vitacost.com/natures-answer-sambucus-black-elderberry-extract-original-12000-mg-8-fl-oz

I always de-fizz my emergen-c by mixing it with a small amount of boiling hot water then I pour that over ice. I hate the fizzy, it reminds me of alka seltzer which is so gross to me.
