My instructions on the probiotics say no cola for 30 mins before or after I take the capsule. I’m guessing it’s due to the acidity so would the same instructions apply for all soft drinks? I have asked the nurse but she’s playing pass-the-question-to-someone-else.

Don’t really know DA.
It might be that cola is more acidic than other soft drinks. Probably best to avoid them all. But this site says:
…probiotic bacterial survival was best when provided within 30 minutes before or simultaneously with a meal or beverage that contained some fat content.

Received a reply from the head researcher: cola is particularly bad (no reason given) but recommends no soft drinks for 30 mins either side of taking the tablet.

Now email back and ask for the reason. I want to know. Is it the fizz?

Cola apparently has phosphoric acid and the others have citric acid.
I read this a few days ago online somewhere when the question first came up.
The gut is more acidic than cola.
