nursemarti 1 Posted May 28, 2012 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1shauna1 129 Posted May 28, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gottobeme 81 Posted May 28, 2012 I wouldn't worry about it. If you get a little gassy later you'll know why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AXA 19 Posted May 29, 2012 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
libbyb 3 Posted May 29, 2012 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!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
