I was wondering if it's ok to have 18 tsp. of lemon juice a day. That's not too much is it? I have been have 12 tsp. per day but I recently raise it to 18 tsp per day. I put 1 tbsp. in my hot tea after each meal. I have 6 mini meals a day so that's six cups of tea per day. I know you have to be careful with acidic fruit when you have IBS.
I have to have lemon juice since I have severe water retention from c and bloating. The lemon juice helps. I'm so bloated from water retention and so full and my stomach is heavy too. Hopefully it will be gone one of these day. Soon, I hope. Thanks.

Hi - Well, 18 tsp. is 6 Tbsp., which is just barely more than 1/3 cup. Spread out over the course of a day that's really not much - about what you'd get in a big glass of fresh lemonade. So if it's helping you, then I wouldn't worry.
