I think I screwed up today. I got a sugar free shaved ice, but it came with a straw and I didn't even think anything about it until my husband says "you're not drinking through that straw are you?". And then I thought OMG that's right they did say no straws and I quit immediately. Now I'm worried what happens if you use a straw?

Don't worry...it's not that bad. Just that you tend to suck more air with a straw, as well as taking larger sips. I use straws with my Protein Shakes to be honest (I find they have a funny smell) and I haven't had a problem, personally.

I wouldn't worry about it. If you get a little gassy later you'll know why.

No worries. The just suggest no straws because of the air.

My doc tells me that it can put air bubbles in your stomach and/or have you get used to consuming too fast. I use straws occassionally with no ill effects but I generally try to avoid them.

For shaved ice though? Definitely I would use a straw!

Dont ever remember being told no straws I use them all the time. I think for me a straw works better. I tend to gulb when I drink from the glass.

Good Luck!!!!!!
