Re: What do you drink if you dont like water?

In the morning I drink oj with calcium. The rest of the day I drink a mix of cranberry juice and water or sometimes lime seltzer with cranberry juice.

Re: What do you drink if you dont like water?

I drink seltzer a lot, but I let it sit for a few minutes so it gets a bit flat.

Re: What do you drink if you dont like water?

i tried drinking seltzer instead bc i hated water too, but i got HORRIBLE gas pains
oddly enough, i started craving ice water and now im ok with drinking a lot of water now.

Re: What do you drink if you dont like water?

I hate water, but I do like really ice cold water with tons of ice and a squeeze of lemon. You could also put a squeeze of lemon and a little truvia and have yourself a mini-lemonade and still be getting all that water.

This is from uptodate.com; an official website used by MDs/PAs for the latest information on various medical issues. It's not a website that just anybody can post in. These are official medical articles.

Artificial sweeteners — There is no evidence that use of aspartame (Nutrasweet®), sucralose (Splenda®), saccharin (Sweet 'N Low®), acesulfame potassium (Sunnet®), or stevioside (Stevia®) by pregnant women increases the risk of birth defects above the baseline risk in the general population [71]. One study showed an increased risk of bladder cancer in offspring of pregnant rats that consumed very high doses of saccharin; the only other study did not show an increased risk. Since there are alternatives to using saccharin, some clinicians recommend avoiding it in pregnancy.

A task force of the American Academy of Pediatrics' Committee on Nutrition concluded that aspartame is safe for both the pregnant mother and developing baby. In addition, the United States FDA and the Council on Scientific Affairs of the American Medical Association concluded that women who are pregnant or breastfeeding can safely use aspartame [72]. Although methanol is a breakdown product of aspartame, methanol is also produced as a breakdown product of many fruits; the levels produced from either of these sources are very low and considered safe in pregnancy.

The Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) is defined as an estimate of the amount of a food additive that can be ingested daily over a lifetime without appreciable health risk. Average use of artificial sweeteners is usually below this limit. For example, the ADI for aspartame is 50 mg/kg/day; Diet Coke® contains 131 mg aspartame per 355 mL can and one packet of Equal® contains 33 mg of aspartame. The FDA recommends that pregnant women limit consumption of aspartame to a moderate level. The ADI for saccharin and sucralose is 5 mg/kg/day, for acesulfame potassium it is 15 mg/kg/day, and for stevioside it is 4 mg/kg/day.

Stick to whatever you are comfortable with, but HTH

caffeine free peppermint tea -- helps with the nausea a bit...

Re: What do you drink if you dont like water?

I found this great drink called IZZE it is sparkling water added to sugar free juices. It comes in about 5 different flavors and its all delicious and all natural. I get it at stop and shop and Ive also seen it at King Kullen. They come in a 4 pack.

I actually like drinking water...so I drink that most of the day. I drink the IZZE either as a soda or alcoholic beverage substitute LOL

Re: What do you drink if you dont like water?

I drink water, but it must be ice cold!

Seltzer, in any flavor! Must be a flavored seltzer.

I have Crystal Light iced tea as well, just a glass here and there.

I drink diet soda as well, no more than 1 a day. And it's caffeine free (ginger ale, Sprite Zero, Dr. Pepper)

I do everything in moderation. I sometimes need caffeine to keep my migraines at bay. Tylenol just doesn't cut it, so I do caffeine for them as well.

Re: What do you drink if you dont like water?

Great post because all I drink is water and I'm getting tired of it also.

I'm going to try out some of the other stuff these ladies have suggested

Re: What do you drink if you dont like water?

cranberry and seltzer, vitamin water (the regular kind, not the zero, I don't like aritificial sweeteners), honest tea (I like the half tea/half lemon). I usually get in 2 bottles of water on top of whatever else I'm drinking even though water makes my indigestion so much worse!!
