Gatorade????

[heybrej]

I've been sticking to the IC diet religiously for about a month now. I'm okay with avoiding certain foods, but im having a lot of trouble finding stuff to drink besides water (gets old fast). What about Gatorade? It hasnt seemed to bother me so far, but then again, neither did the lemonade (stupid me....man, that was painfull when it finally hit!). HELP! I need a drink with flavor! :bow:

I would not even conceder Gatorade. It is very acidic.
Just my opinion.
Try this a 16 oz of spring water mixed with 8 oz of pear juice.pour a glass over ice. It is really tastey.
Or if you can handle watermelon.......2-3 cups watermelon (take out the seeds and run through a blender add spring water and pour over ice. This is sooo refreshing and it taste wonderful.

Hope this is of some help.

Some people with IC can tolerate Gatorade, but not the pink or red tones. I used to drink blue raspberry with no problem, but I usually just drink water.

I always check the label...if it says it has citric acid I don't drink it or eat it. Sometimes I have to cheat....and that is when Prelief comes in. Hope that helps you.
