For me something like 7-Up,Sprite,Ginger ale helps out more then coke that's just me though.

Those are excellent for an upset stomach but I'm specifically referencing diarrhea.

Do the clear sodas help you with diarrhea?


In reference to the original post I might be inclined to try a watered-down Coke because it would help with dehydration.  However, drinking Ginger Ale, 7-Up, Sprite, (clear soft drinks) for an upset stomach does work.  That's what my mom always did.

Here's a quote from LiveSTRONG.com:

Studies aside, ginger root has been used medicinally in teas and powdered medicine for more than 2,000 years in China and India, where it is frequently prescribed as a digestive aid and remedy for upset stomach, diarrhea and nausea. Ginger ales made using real ginger may also have a beneficial effect on these conditions.

As a reliably lighter beverage than other soft drinks, ginger ale offers the benefit of restoring fluids to the body during intense upset stomach spells that may lead to dehydration. Ginger ales made with real ginger have the added benefit of anti-emetic properties, reducing the urge to vomit.

Honestly the only dark soda I can tolerate is diet Pesi and the latest 'this product causes cancer' claimed the dark coloring in all soda causes cancer.  So I guess to cure diarrhea you run the risk of getting cancer.

Definitely worth a shot.  Even if I have to get some.

Wow, that was good to know. I hate having an upset stomach so I would like to stop it right away if it happens. I rarely drink soda though and when  I do, it's usually ginger ale.

:clover:     :peace:     :clover:  That's a good idea to keep the runs away for as long as possible  ;D  I do tend to drink soda with ice and diluted ice. Which as long as you drink enough diluted ice with soda should help with this remedy. Thanks  :thumbsup:   :clover:     :peace:     :clover:

Don't forget that if you have a case of diarrhea  :-[, you can stop it in its tracks with diluted Coke (any dark soda will do). Half Coke and half water does the trick. Try it next time you're in dire straits.

I don't know about that.  I always drink dark pop and never had it help with diarrhea.  I call it brown water when people ask what I'm drinking.  It's always some kind of diet, caffeine free cola type pop.

Cool I'm pretty sure you can clean things with club soda.

I think it is just about any ark soda.  Dr Pepper works too on upset stomach or diarrhea.

Hmm, interesting remedy for diarrhea. I am more of a green tea and Pepto Bismol girl, LOL. But thank you for sharing, OP.
