Do you buy this theory?

I recently posted on FB about how gross the drink is that you drink during your glucose test. Well, I actually thought it was fine until after I was done and started to feel slightly nauseous from it. A couple of my friends who recently gave birth said they thought it was delicious, and they ended up having GD. Their theory is if you think the drink is gross, you'll pass and if you like it you'll fail.

Have you heard this before? What has been your experience?

No. I didn't mind it and no GD with my last pregnancy. And this was coming off of 16 weeks with HG so my stomach was not my friend for a good portion of my pregnancy.

That is an interesting theory but idk it your taste buds are linked to GD. I didn't like it with either of my pregnancy and I didn't have GD.

I didn't mind the taste. I didn't feel well the rest of the day though because it was too much sugar for me. I passed the test so I'm not sure this theory works.

I didn't mind it, no GD.

Well, I liked it and I passed with flying colors, so either I'm a fluke, or this theory is debunked...or I just really like strong orange soda.

nilvero · July 2014

I liked it. No GD. My issue was with drinking it so fast.

baloneydisc · July 2014

It was ok, no GD here.

ConversationFear · July 2014

It tasted exactly like flat Orange Crush. I'm not a fan, but I didn't think it was the most horrible thing ever - like some people made it out to be. I thought it was going to be on par with a barium swallow or something. It got pretty rough towards the end because seriously, I NEVER eat or drink anything that damn sweet - woof.

But lo and behold, I have GD.

dlems11 · July 2014

I hated it, definitely made me sick the rest of the day! Your theory works for me, I passed!

lilnessi · July 2014

i liked it as well..and no GD

ADC1979 · July 2014

I liked it just fine, and no GD.

allurah2014 · July 2014

I am still waiting on my result. Like PP said, I didn't mind it at first, but I chugged it and then felt slightly nauseous and was grossed out by the thought of it. Mine was not orange, it was a clear liquid and at first I thought she was handing me a small bottle of water. It tasted like concentrated 7up syrup. I should have taken the full 5 minutes to drink it. -_-

jmcgra06 · July 2014

I thought it tasted just fine, and I did not have GD

abbyful · July 2014

Haven't taken the test yet this time, but with DS I didn't think it was horrible and I did not have GD.

merc5411 · July 2014

I liked it and didn't have GD.

thegoodpotato · July 2014

I lurved it both times - it tastes like melted orange freezies!

And I didn't have GD with either pregnancy.

MMason12 · July 2014

I had the red drink and didn't mind it at all. It just tasted like strong Hawaiin Punch to me. Took my 3.5 minutes to get it down. I had a slightly upset stomach afterwards but nothing major. I passed my GD with flying colors. Oh, I have a stomach that is slightly sensitive to sugar so I was thinking ahead of times that I could have problems with the test.

Justabean3 · July 2014

I liked it all 3 times, felt gross all 3 times, still didn't mind drinking it

#1 no GD
#2 failed 1 hr and passed the 3
#3 I have GD

I'm on the step program

nyagoc · July 2014

I thought it was tasty, and no GD.

kgrisham18 · July 2014

I didn't mind the drink and no GD. I wouldn't choose to drink it but I do tend to like anything sweet.

PrimRoseMama · July 2014

I liked the orange (1hour) fanta-like drink, & failed. I hated</1> the Hawaiian Punch flavor (3 hour) & passed.

The second time I despised the orange drink (I failed) & almost puked with the haiwaan punch flavor. Passed.

I am not sure I place much confidence in the theory.
