You don’t have to quit OJ cold turkey—that would be un-American (or un-anywhere-you-live). Try diluting it with water to reduce the sugar and acid concentration. Half juice, half water is like a gentle hug for your gut. Also, sip it with a meal instead of on an empty stomach, so your body has other stuff to process and doesn’t freak out.

Another pro tip: choose low-acid orange juice, or let your juice sit for a bit after squeezing. Freshly squeezed OJ has more vitamin C, but overnight it loses some potency. And if you’re really sensitive, limit yourself to one small glass a day. Your colon will thank you with a standing ovation every time you pass a restroom without sprinting.
