ShawnaN_Everett_Wa Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 OK so, my roommate is thinking about doing the Whole30 with me but she has a lot of pills that she has to take as a result from back & neck surgeries as well as gastric bypass. The neck surgeries she has had has left severe scar tissue damage that has effected her esophagus & her ability to swallow. Food & her pills get stuck in a pocket in her throat & she drinks pop & or chocolate milk to dislodge. Apparently the carbonation from the pop & the thickness/slimy coating produced by the thickness of chocolate milk helps her to swallow & miss the pocket in her throat. So she drinks either/both when she takes her pharmacy of pills. We have been trying to think of something that would be compliant that would do the job. I read that juicing & smoothies is not in the plan. But if its just to take her pills... She has a Soda Stream & is thinking of making apple juice & carbonating it. I've suggested almond milk but she says that she's tried it. Ideas are most welcome. Those are just a small portion of her health issues. She's also anemic & has previously had to have iron infusions since iron pills don't do the job because of the bypass surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewer5 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Carbonated waters like La Croix -- with no sweeteners -- are Whole 30 compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Compliant Kombucha might also be fizzy enough. You can also thicken almond or coconut milk by mixing with coconut cream (check they are compliant). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
