NYE is this week and I'd like to toast the New Year with champagne but I'm nervous about the bubbles upsetting my stomach.

I know the only way to know is to try, but I am hoping for some preparatory feedback.

I have a bottle of Piper-Heidsieck in the fridge which I have been gazing at longingly every time I see it. However, being only 12 days out I think I will save it for a few months.

I drank champagne on Christmas day. I had it with orange juice to 'soften' it a bit. Went down fine - but without a PPI on board, I wouldnt recommend anything over 3 glasses. Quite acidic.

I drink bubbles occasionally with no issues. I do agree though that it can be quite acidic so I recommend going for top quality and dry. Think champagne rather than methode traditionelle.

Of course,t his is dependant on how far out you are. I am twenty months post OP and had the all clear for alcohol at 6 weeks post OP. It was six months post OP before I had champagne. So your own plan needs to be taken into account here.

I wouldn't add the OJ because of the sugars, I would figure I was getting enough empty calories from the bubbles! But you need to do what works for you. Incidentally, I still can't tolerate anything carbonated other than sparkling Water or wine. I have not had soda at all in over twenty months, the closest I get to soda is an occasional vodka or gin and tonic. I have tried beer and cider but both are too bubbly for me, filling me up with gas after a few mouthfuls. But I never have that problem with champagne, methode traditionelle, tonic water or sparkling mineral water. I think the difference is whether the carbonation is added or occurs naturally as part of the fermentation process. Where it is added, it is too much for me.
