carbonation

[Guest guest]

Just a quick not eon carbonated beverages, since it seems to have been

mentioned a lot recently. About half the people post that they help

and the other half avoid them.

I was one of the avoiders until recently I drank some soda (pop!) with

my mouth open, burped immediately, and found that it helped 'pull' the

air that was trapped in the food sitting in my esophagus out and the

food went down better. The mouth open seemed to have made the

difference. I still don't drink it often (partially because I don't

drink any caffeine - I had some spasms which stopped after I stopped

drinking caffeine, no idea if it was related or not), but sometimes

when things are really bad it seems to help...
