I don't eat or drink diet anything. Eat or drink (except wter) in moderation and there wont be a problem.

I like Fresca and Squirt. By the way, don't search the word squirt.  Don't say I didn't warn you!

I used to drink a whole shitload of Diet Coke, Coke Zero, and Coke Classic.  Now, because of my GERD, I drink one 20 oz. bottle of Coke a week.

I quit drinking soda at the same time I quit drinking beer about 3 1/2 years ago.  My wife and I went through 2 cases plus of Diet Coke every week up until then.  I doubt that I've had more that 12 cans total since then. I drink lots of coffee and just plain water now.

My aunt drank diet Pepsi every day for 30 years.  Every week, she would come home from the commissary with a couple gallons of the stuff. 

I only drink it when I buy a case of the store-brand stuff ($2.50) but I'm trying to cut back.  I stick to decaf and plenty of water when I'm at work.

I drink Diet Coke a bit, one can at work and one at home. I prefer water with the litttle Propel packets.

How sure are you that it is GERD ? The reason I ask is because I had symptoms similar to GERD, and it turned out to be h. pylori. A regimen of antibiotics has given me complete relief.

I used to guzzle Diet Coke. I am on straight coffee and unsweetened tea only now for caffeine fixes.
