Oh Patty, I am glad to hear you healed up. Do you have to stay away from acidic foods now? Don't know how I could live without my morning OJ. And alcohol? One margarita (light on the salt please) every couple weeks is all my head can take. Life has changed, eh?
I can drink grapefruit juice and orange juice just fine.
Carbonated drinks are a bit dicey. And I have cut back on salt, also.
The ones that cause pain are colas, coffee (even decaf), tea (real tea, not flavored hot water teas), cocoa, chocolate, ... basically anything from the methyl xanthine group of organic chemicals (caffeine, theobromine, etc.)
