Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 624 | Barry started to complain about water tasting badl and I started to invesitigate different bottled brands -- the bes two were Poland Spring (from Maine) and the house brand from Trader Joe's (which is from a Pennsylvania spring). He can drink these with no problem. Also, the suggestion to dilute juice with water also works -- he likes mango juice diluted about 1/2 and this is 70 calories/8 oz. so good for both caloric intake and fiber. Mango seems the mildest and least apt to cause mouth pain)..
