I couldn't take Jivity. It gave me severe heartburn. I find that if I mix each can with a 16oz bottle of water it goes through the tube very easily and doesn't clog up. Also I stay very hydrated. It's so easy for throat cancer patients to get dehydrated. Mix your food with water, then flush with water afterward. Your kidneys will love you for it. http://azdadybear.blogforacure.com/weblog/2010/03/11/0001 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 07:12:48 -0800 http://sunshineangel.blogforacure.com/weblog/2010/03/11/0001 Here are some jokes to brighten up the day. :) Hope you enjoy a good laugh!
