Pages: 1 Ginger ale/ginger beer/coca cola alternatives?       #323530 - 01/30/08 03:19 AM Edit Reply Quote Wheresthedamnloo Reged: 01/19/08 Posts: 131 Hi there. Is Ginger ale/beer (non alcoholic) ok to drink? I can't understand how ginger ale or beer can cause diarrohea? What if it was non-carbonated? And what about natural non-carbonated cordial? Is that ok? Lots of thirsty people here addicted to coca cola etc..so some ideas would be great!

They should make decent drinks that taste good. Is it the carbonation itself that makes it so bad? I have heard of places like Mrs Flannerys here in Australia stocking natural can drinks.

HFCS is commonly used in carbonated drinks unless they are diet drinks then they use artificial sweetners which can be a problem too. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Ginger ale/ginger beer/coca cola alternatives?       #323536 - 01/30/08 06:02 AM Edit Reply Quote Wheresthedamnloo Reged: 01/19/08 Posts: 131 Thanks for the info. I think carbonated cola harms me when I am ill but at other times not so much. People in my country (Australia) are sometimes given coke to help if they have gastro or the dreaded stomach flu.
