Well, find out WHY they say no straws. usually they'll say it's cuz it causes gas. I accidently did it without thinking one time when I went through the dunkies drive through for an iced coffee... and about an hour later I went "uh oh"... but then realized I didn't have an problem so I was curious what they said. My doc & nut both said if it doesn't cause you gassy problems from sucking in air, then go for it. But some docs might be more reluctant.

For me, it was the difference between suffering and not suffering. I fart like theres no tomorrow but I rarely burp.
