No puedo beber (tomar?) jugo de toronja, naranja, o piña. Ellos molestan mi estómago.

(Can someone check the dictionary's conjugations for "molestar"? I think they may be incorrect.....)

@Lou Ann: You can also say "me lastiman el estómago", "me hacen daño al estómago", "me irritan el estómago" (the one I'd choose).

Yes, in Spain we say "pomelo", instead of "taronja". But this word reminds me the Cataloniand word for "orange", this is "taronja". The Catalonian word for "toronja" / "pomelo" is "aranja. "Arancia" is the italian word for "orange".

I like to find connections between words. This is a good way of learning languages, too.

Thanks - I like the "irritan" better than the "molestan". By the way - would you choose "beber" or "tomar"?

Pregunta buena, Lou Ann.. Espero que él dirá

Beber - to drink
tomar - to take

Personalmente, usaría "beber" pero soy un gringo

Nosotros somos gringos, los dos! Se usa "tomar" por "to drink", tambien. Yo no sé cuál es mejor en la oración.
