If you are having problems with carbonated drinks but like the taste, open them up and put them back in the frig for an hour or so. Or drink fountain sodas in the cafeteria rather than bottled. Less fizzieness. Or pour over ice and wait until the bubbles go away. Right after radiation, I found frasca, ginger ale, etc. tolerable. Experiment and see what works for you.
Take care,
Eileen
