Half hour or hour wait.

 Forgive me but is it an hour wait or half hour wait of drinking can you eat and after eating how long after can you drink? I've been setting my cell phone alarm for half hour after I drink.

 As far as I know, it's different for each centre. At HRRH where I went, it's a half hour before and after.  

Hi

My center had no drinking one hour before meals and one hour after, after two years I can now have a drink 45 minutes after my meals, but like others posted, it depends on your center.

Best to check your paperwork or call them, good luck

Take care

In Ottawa its 30 mins before and 1 hours after

at HRRH I was told half hour before or after. I follow the half hour after, but not before, cuz i figure the liquid moves out fast enough not to affect my food.

I totally agree with this. Based on anything clinical I've read, there is absolutely no reason to wait more than 15 minutes before eating. 30 minutes after is also reasonable, an hour seems excessive.

TWH is the 30 min rule

After two years, I still wait a half hour after eating to drink.  I don't worry too much about before eating.  I find it hard to believe that liquid will just sit in my pouch waiting for me to eat something so it can suddenly wa**** away.  Just doesn't seem logical to me.   After eating, yes, wait at least 30 mins is my best advice.

Enjoy!
