General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Occasional consumption of lemonade should not cause any problem.
However, it could cause gastric irritation as acid in citrus fruits increases the acid in your stomach and can lead to acid reflux, which sometimes results in nausea and vomiting, particularly when consumed on empty stomach.
Taking over-the-counter antacid medication should overcome such problems, when encountered occasionally.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
