I feel really bad because my husband and I have both been addicted to diet soda for a very long time, and recently he had to start taking this medication which makes all carbonated drinks disgusting for him. I tried to go along with his non-carbonated drink thing for a minute, but then I just started drinking really sugary drinks instead of my diet. I guess I will have to stick with the diet pop for now, until I find something to make here like maybe some Crystal Light. I just feel really bad for him that it sucks that he even has to take pills let alone the fact that they make one of his favorite things taste like garbage!
