What to drink

Deleted user
over 1 year ago

I've been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and been advised to stop drinking coca cola because it's making the UC worse and further causing me harm so my doctor says.

But the thing is what else can I drink? Cola tastes amazing and I feel less stressed when I drink it and it gives me the extra energy I need during the day. Water just tastes gross and I don't like tea or coffee. I've always had a sweet tooth and the last couple of years cola has been my only drink and now I've got to cut it out.

What do you drink?

Any suggestions on a sweet tasting drink I can try to see if I like?

I've always struggled with food and drink. Five years ago I didn't drink enough and now I'm drinking too much of the sugary stuff which my doctor says likely contributed to my UC.

But there's little tasty drinks out there I've found.

    I drink lime and mint cordial diluted with carbonated water, also milk and flavoured milk. Though I also drink tea and coffee. I am not advising that you drink any of these, of course. I will say, however, that coca cola, in all its variations is nasty stuff.
