Iced tea w/ lemon - burns?

[Melinco 1]

Hi everyone,

I think I'm identifying something that isn't agreeing with my tummy, that I never had a problem with before: iced tea with lemon!

Has anyone else has an issue with this? I don't think it's the tea, I really think it is the lemon, as I've had hot tea with no problems, and iced tea with no lemon, no problems.

When I drink it, I can actually feel a discomfort in my stomach. Is this common?

Thanks!

well think about it you have an empty belly im assuming youre still on liquids citrus can definetly aggravate your tummy.

No, I'm on solids. I had my lunch today, waited an hour, drank my Water first, then went and got an iced tea with lemon from Sonic (since I can't drink any soda). I only took a couple of sips (not with the straw) and I could feel it.

Sometimes wine does this to me - most particularly on an empty stomach. And the other thing that does it is potato chips!

Might be reflux developing (citrus, spices, alcohol, etc. make the burning worse). It's a very common banding side effect so keep an eye on things.
