Not sure how you plan on eating limes- in your Water? on your food? by themselves? I don't think a few drops will hurt anything, but you will want to be careful with how much you have due to the acidity of them, it might irritate your stomach if you have too much. I have had lemon in my water and lemon on fish and had no issues.

Hi Denise, actually it's by itself I've always loved them like that and my mouth gets so watery thinking about them. I just don't to hurt my sleeve in anyway, It sure if it would though, I will ask my nut also

Have you tried True Lime and True Lemon? It's powdered in little packets and tastes like the real thing. I imagine that it not as acidic as the fresh fruit. You could sprinkle over food, put in your Water, just to help with craving until your stomach is ready for citrus.

Do you have a nutritionist? You might ask. I don't have one...but my son has been seeing a special needs nutritionist for years and she prefers for us to feed him alkaline vs acidic foods (he has a ton of gi issues) Anyways, from the beginning, she has always had us add a few drops of lime juice to his pear juice or Water to make alkaline...and encouraged us to cook foods from the acidic foods list with it. I have been wondering abt it too, because I have always squeezed fresh lemon or lime in my Water and I miss it. In a normal "non surgical" stomach, it's a great acid reducer...but I just don't know if the conditions are the same...

Btw, when I say he had GI issues, I mean he had reflux, so bad, that from age of one to age two he only gained one pound, had to go to feeding therapy to be taught to eat all over again...we are talking SERIOUS special needs nutritionist! it took about 5 years but he's doing great now eats better than most 7 year olds!

When I was in soft foods I did a lot of lime juice and avocado together as a modified guacamole. Was one of the friendliest items to my tummy and made canned chicken go down so much easier. Not sure how the Fiber of the actual lime pulp would affect it, as for me it took a while before I could handle raw fruits. Maybe start by trying some lime juice to satisfy your craving and see how it goes.
