BrokenArrow 52 Posted December 4, 2017 Alright - To make a long story short, I have had a cold for about 2 weeks. The classic cold symptoms. Runny nose, cough, soar throat blah blah blah. I went to work the other day and a co-worker suggested drinking some orange juice because I guess the vitamin c is good for a cold, and the acidity of it is good for breaking up mucus. Well I told the co-worker no I can't drink it because I have acid reflux disease and it will give me major heartburn and other stomach issues. They told me that it won't be that bad and that I should really do it to get over the cold. So against my better judgement I go out on my lunch break and I buy a bottle of orange juice. It was about a 16 oz bottle. I drank probably 2/3rds of it. The rest of the night I had horrible gas, bloating, and nausea. When I woke up this morning all the problems were still there. I think they are getting alittle bit better, but I still feel gassy and I'm really kicking myself because I know better then to drink orange juice and I gave in and did it anyway. Does anyone else have issues with orange juice or something along them lines? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JungleJulia 235 Posted December 4, 2017 Hi Arrow, No point in punishing yourself, it'll only add to your stress, you were just doing what you thought at the time might help. I don't have this issue, but maybe in future, get some vitamin C tablets if you wish to boost your vitamin C intake. The symptoms will pass but don't be too hard on yourself, it was just a mistake xx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holls 1505 Posted December 5, 2017 Yes. Since I had my kids I get heartburn pretty regular. I absolutely love orange juice but yes it brings on heartburn. I enjoy drinking it at night and I always pay for it. Sorry you had that experience. I hope you start to feel better soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bin_tenn 1252 Posted December 5, 2017 OJ causes heartburn/reflux for me as well. So do sodas, tea, coffee and many other things that I otherwise enjoy. It sucks, but I guess I can't really do anything about it except avoid those things for the most part. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
