Hot is hot even mildly hot is hot, so I avoid it like the plague. Carbonation still hurts and pop tastes like the chemical stew it is. So fresh and natural all the way for me... No processed foods. It takes time and continuous tries to finally get something to work for you. I think it's almost like acclimatizing your taste buds again. And if you are afraid of the pain, nausea, or all out horrible taste, it will take longer to psych yourself back into wanting to eat! hugs.
