Does soda really help an upset stomach?

Answer 1

Kinda-sorta. Sodas usually have a lot of sugar in them, and sugar is a lot of calories/energy. And if your food has more energy in it than you actually need, your body will turn it into fat ands store it.

So, at the end of the day it's the amount and the substance together that decides if you put on weight or not. It only takes a little soda to give you a lot of energy. Fruit juices have less sugar (=less energy)so you can have more of those and still be able to use it all up. But there's still energy in there, so you're better off sticking with water.

Answer 2

Soda such as Ginger Ale does help to settle your stomach. Ginger ale that has ginger extract or ginger root will counteract with the acids in your stomach and create a calming effect.

Answer 3

Yes, the bubbles, sugar, and caffiene can help settle an upset stomach.

Answer 4

yes, slightly, until you burp them
