Coca-Cola
Water
Legends aside, Coke is tough for IBS-ers. Fears of dehydration aside, Heather does recommend drinking a lot of fluid if you're IBS-C. I'm IBS-D, but I find the more fluid I drink the better I feel.

I don't know the original source, however I have seen it quoted a million times all over the internet. It may not be true, but it freaked me out when I read it. Also, I am very sensitive, and if I drink any kind of soda I feel crappy right away. Maybe try some of those things out yourself if you're bored- put something rusty in coke and see what happens.... then report back. i think that's the only way to find out if its valid info, because at this point the source of that is unknown, its been reposted so many times... u can do a google search- I just looked up "Coke Vs Water" or something like that and came back with what I posted here.

They are both urban legends and not true.
