Name: Sara Miranda Byrdie

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-bo2f@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Byrdie

Deadline: 10:00 PM EST - 11 December

Query:

Hi There, I am making updates to an existing article on Byrdie
that breaks down some of the drinks that can cause bloating. I
am wondering if a nutritionist can offer some input on the
drinks that are being discussed in the article: What sorts of
digestive issues can coffee cause? Are there any alternatives to
drinking coffee that won't cause problems? What causes lactose
intolerance? In other words, why does one have problems with
digesting milk over another? What characteristics of apple
juice cause digestive issues? Why is salt a problematic
ingredient in drinks? Carbonated drinks are also known for
bloating. Are there any alternatives to carbonated drinks that
can still give one that bubbly taste? Why does alcohol cause
bloating? Straws can make sipping on your favorite drink easier,
but what about them can lead to bloating?

Nutritionist insight only please!

of thing.
