You can safely drink about one can of Olipop soda per day when starting out, as it contains a high amount of dietary fiber (about 9 grams per can). The recommended daily fiber intake is about 25 grams for women and 35 grams for men, so drinking multiple cans (such as three or more) can lead to digestive discomfort like bloating, gas, cramping, or diarrhea until your gut adjusts to the higher fiber intake. Some people find two cans per day to be a comfortable amount once adapted, but it is advised to increase intake gradually and see how your body responds. Drinking too many cans too quickly may cause unpleasant gastrointestinal effects due to the prebiotic fiber content. Children and people with certain digestive conditions should use caution and check with a healthcare provider. In summary:
- Start with one can per day.
- Gradually increase to two cans if tolerated.
- Avoid three or more cans daily due to high fiber content and possible side effects.
- Monitor your body's reaction and adjust intake accordingly.
This is based on Olipop's recommendations and advice from nutrition experts about fiber intake and prebiotic sodas.
