Can an orange seed grow inside your stomach?
If someone eats any kind of seeds it will not grow in their stomach. The acids in the stomach will kill any chance of it growing. It will go through digestion just like everything else. You may even find it on the other end if you look for it.
I don't suggest eating them unless you are about to die of starvation. I also don't suggest telling anyone that it will grow in their stomach either.

Does soda really help an upset stomach?
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.
