Water and other drinks

pinkchocoholic

I love drinking water I drink lots of it a day. 

I do drink other drinks (a can of diet coke each Sunday lunchtime, 2-3 cups of decaf tea a day, max of 2 hot chocolates a week)

I really love the water when it's been in the fridge to get cold.

  • I am currently going through a bit of a struggle because my only two drinks have been mint tea and water (of all temperatures)

    However, it has recently become clear that the mint tea is an extreme reflux trigger for me. This is a known effect of mint tea, it relaxes the  lower oesophageal sphincter which allows reflux to more easily exit the stomach. 

    That now gives me a conflict, in that in order to best care for my health, I need to decrease my already very restricted drinks list by half. I'm quite annoyed by this.

    sorry to hear that - have you considered maybe having mint tea once a week as a special treat? - that's what I do with diet coke, as I like it as well
