What I have read is that regular intake of that kind of acidic liquid eventually leaches calcium out of your bones as your body tries to compensate and balance pH. I'm no doctor but I think there's a big difference between the appropriately local low pH of stomach acid and ingesting a pH 3 liquid every day.

Coca-Cola is also absolutely loaded with phosphoric acid. It's got a pH almost as low as white vinegar. They put all that acid in it because they have to in order to keep all that sugar (I think it's 42 grams or something per 8 oz) dissolved in solution. I know that sugar is very bad for people, but that is a whole lot of acid to be drinking, isn't it?

Try a probiotic called Saccharomyces boulardii. It's actually a yeast, not a bacterium. I've been using it for weeks now and it makes a massive difference in my GI stability. It is unbelievable. I didn't have IBD, but did have IBS/"leaky gut" type symptoms for decades, so bad at one point that I thought it might be Chron's... and this stuff changed all that literally overnight. I have to think that it could do the same thing for IBD sufferers.
