Carbonated Drinks?

I was told by my nutritionist that I must never, ever have carbonated drinks, but now I can't remember why. Does anyone know why that is? Also, I've seen posts on this board and on the main board that some people still drink carbonated drinks. How is that possible????? Thanks for the info. Kim

The carbonation can strech the new pouch. And they are not nutisious any way. We can not take in things that don't do our bodies any good. I should say we shouldn't take in things that don't do our bodies any good.

I drink diet pop, but not as soon as I open them. I let at least half of the carbonation out, if not most by letting it sit for awhile. Some doctors don't believe that carbonation can "stretch" the pouch...apparently, some do. My pouch is a micropouch and created in an area of the stomach which resists stretching. Anyway, it's a hot topic. People usually feel one way or the other with a vengeance! Chele

Do a search on this site ...type in "carbonation"...you'll see different information and opinions. Chele
