After a few months I started drinking Coke and I found the carbonation helpful in helping me swallow. It gave my RO fits however (becuase of the sugar content) and eventually I switched to plain selzter water. I still rarely drink soda anymore. I also drink more tap water since bottled water removes the flouride which we need.
