Lucozade

[Cmcxx]

Is it ok to have lucozade !? I'm floored with ms and it's the only thing I keep down and like the taste of X I don't drink tea coffee or any other fizzy drinks ? It's my godsend I hope it's safe X

I've read it's safe and my midwife says it's ok but it does contain caffeine and a ton of sugar so try and drink in moderation. Good luck with the ms lucozade makes me feel better too.

My midwife said an absolute no to lucozade!
She said as bad as drinking red bull, saying that though she told me to stay off Coke, and to be honest I need the sugar to get me through the day!

Not being funny but if you have the diabetes screening at 28wks they get you to take in a big bottle of Lucozade Original to do the test with (they measure out a certain amount for you to drink and then take your blood a few times at regular intervals after). So it can't be a complete no no otherwise they wouldn't use it. If it makes you feel better and you're not drinking litres of it then go ahead and don't worry about it also there's much less caffeine in Lucozade than other "energy" drinks and you can have upto 200mg caffeine a day according to the NHS.

Oh I've been wanting lucozade for ages but avoided due to caffeine

I'm sure it's ok in moderation x

It's sugary and has caffeine, but if you are otherwise healthy and not avoiding sugar for health reasons (personally, I don't eat much of it because it makes me feel ill, pregnant or not), then it should be fine as long as you keep an eye on your caffeine consumption. It looks like there is about 46 mg of caffeine per 380 ml bottle, which is about the caffeine roughly in a cup of tea (in comparison, espresso has about 60-80 ml per shot). If you are drinking more than 4 bottles a day, yes, I'd try to limit it. Otherwise, it's probably fine in moderation if it doesn't make you feel ill.
