Does Crystal Light burn your throat?
I've been drinking it for more than a year, even well before wls. However, in the last few months I've noticed that I can only drink a few sips otherwise it makes my throat burn.
I never mentioned this to my husband but when he ran out of kool-aid, I gave him some of my Crystal Light and he said he didnt like it because it burned his throat. wow, so it's not just in my head.

Yes, i am pre-surgery and I have drinken crystal light for years. only the tea with lemon though. and it has recently started burning my throat. to the point i cant even stand it! Im trying to find new drink mixes and I really like propel zero grape, and walmart has some as well. the great value brand. i like kiwi strawberry best. they dont burn and are refreshing light flavors that dont overwhelm. hope that helps!
I have heard in my support group that crystal light does burn alot of peoples throat either right away or later. maybe its the artificial flavoring in it?

I have used crystal light and found it harsh and up setting to ny stomach with bouts of reflux. Then I tried raspberry tea and found it very tasty. I drank and drank several gallons on my preop but now found a sore on the roof of my mouth. I just might go back to making good ole ice tea or buy it unsweetened at the store. I used to drink raspberry lemonade and fruit punch. But I might try the idea of watering it down to see if that works on raspberry icetea. Thanks for all the good info.
