Stomach bug and soda



Recommended Posts

They sell the syrups for the soda stream at Walmart. You normally mixture them into the carbonated Water. I suppose you could mix them into plain water.

What's cola Syrup? ?

pharmacies sell it in tiny little bottles, it has all the stuff that makes your tummy feel better minus the carbonated Water

Go to the pharmacy and buy cola Syrup.< /p>

How funny you mentioned that! I thought my family was the only family in the world that used cola syrup when they were sick!!! Tried and true family fix. My husband always laughed at me and said it was all in my head... until he was super sick with the throw-ups. i fixed him cola syrup over crushed ice and and he was a believer. my daughter and i were both sick right before i had my sleeve surgery so we wiped out the cola supply. i NEVER keep soda in the house because out of sight out of mind... especially for my kids! if i thought i could have made it to the store with out barfing or other unmentionables... i would have gone to get some cola syrup. it just happened that my husband picked up a can of soda at work yesterday and forgot about it this am. i let it sit out and have been drinking it through out the day in tiny sips. really helps. must be something to do with the sugar in it.

What do you do with the cola Syrup? Do you mix it with something? Do they make Diet Vernors syrup? :D

I don't know a ton about it except that when I was a pharmacy tech we sold it and people bought it for tummy troubles. Sorry I cant be more helpful than that.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it the bubbles in carbonated Water that helps with settling the stomach flu? At least that is what I have read in the past. It would seem, according to my understanding, that a flat drink would be not be productive.

my doctor always said something about your sugar and sodium levels bottoming out when you have a bad case of stomach virus. he advised to not drink anything artificial and definitely not plain Water. tiny sips of gatorade or small spoonfuls of cola Syrup over ice. you only use 1-2TBS of the cola syrup over a coffee mug filled to the brim of crushed ice. usually one of those was all i could ever keep down per day when i was sick. flat ginger ale was also helpful. i guess everyone is different. the bubbles always made my belly gurgle too much

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
