It's well known that if you have a stomach bug or similar, or feel sick, etc, flat coke can make you feel better, BUT, with it containing so much caffeine I'm always very suprised when it helps me out so much with my IBS.
For instance, I start a new job tomorrow, and the anxiety has had me feel pretty awful since about Thursday - starting with D, but for the last couple of days being mainly cramps, nausea, chaotic tums and bizarre BMs (TMI = more than normal, going a couple of times a day, big, hard poops followed by sticky ones, accompanied with some gas & nausea that eases each time I go  ).
I don't want to take any Immodium, as the more I can get out of me today the less there is to mess me up tomorrow morning on the way to work, So, other than eating super-safetly, which I have been doing, there's not much I can do. And the only thing that helps me? Yup, flat coke.
It eases nausea instantly, and the effects stay for a few hours, it calms my turbulent tum, and it stays calm for even longer. And it helps quite a bit with pain too.
It's just so bizarre, I had to share it!  I'm not talking about drinking huge amounts by the way - a few mouthfuls each time. When I go overboard and drink a small bottle, for instance, I pay for it with extra gas & more frequent BMs, so it's a very careful science...
