I am having to take a supplement that has to be dissolved in 6 to 8 ounces of liquid. It can't be put in tea. For some reason it breaks the tea down. I don't know what kind of juices are okay for us IBS-Ds to drink. I hate cranberry juice. Can anyone give me any tips on what juices are okay? I sometimes put it in a smoothie but I can't drink 2 smoothies a day. I have a rather serious medical condition and I need to take this stuff and am really having a hard time. The only thing I've found so far to put it in is bouillon. One can only drink so much bouillion.

Well, I guess either no one knows the answer or I should be looking somewhere else on the board. I would really appreciate some help if anyone can direct me to the right place.

I didn't answer because I drink mine with cranberry juice. I do not like regular cranberry juice either. I did find one that I do like though. Ocean Spray White Cranberry and Peach. Hope this is of some benefit. Leslie

Hi Sugar,
I haven't had luck with any juices so I can't help you there. But, what about water with a little lemon or lime squeezed in and a little sugar or sweet & low. That really tastes good. Or I like just plain water with one packet of sweet&low or sugar.
Does the tea you can't drink include herbal teas???
Sorry not to be more help.

I can drink Ocean Spray Cran-Cherry and I have no problems with it. I can also drink some apple juice. Over all I try to only drink a glass in the morning. What do you make your smoothy with? If you use soy milk can you just drink soy milk with your medication in it? Either Vanilla or Chocolate? I wish I could be more help.

Could you brew some herbal tea, let it cool down (add an ice cube or two) and then it might accept your med better? I think it's the heat in the tea that didn't work.

So far I haven't found any cranberry juices I can stand, but I will try the Ocean Spray White Cranberry and Peach.
The people who make the suppliment just said it doesn't work in tea. I used it in all kinds of decaf/herbel teas and it doesn't work. I'm drinking Snapple Strawberry and Manjo juice now to see if it works without making me sick. I will have to wait until later tonight to see if I get sick from the juice. It's such a bummer not being able to drink anything but water and tea.
I use Almond milk in my smoothies. I can't drink soy.
Thanks everyone for answering this is really important to me because I have to have this suppliment in order to survive and it's really been a problem because of my IBS. If not for the IBS I'd put it in coffee or orange juice and be done with it. What a pain.

What about Cool Aide? I bought a package and am wondering if it would be okay. Here is the ingredients in Strawberry Cool Aide: Sugar, Fructose, Citric Acid (Provides Tartness), Calcium Phosphate (Prevents Caking), Artificial Flavor, RED 40,' Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C).
It is way to sweet for me but I need something anything to put this supplement in.

I know I've been able to drink Kool Aid with no problems. I usually buy the kind in the little envelopes (unsweetened), and make it with less sugar than it calls for, because yeah, it is really sweet. But the kind with the sugar already in should be fine too.
