Why does it work?

In small amounts, Coke aids digestion—especially proteins—due to its high acidity.

Not convinced? Place a small piece of meat in a glass of Coke; it will dissolve over time.

If vomiting or diarrhea occurs, Coke helps rehydrate by replenishing blood sugar levels with its carbohydrates.

For gastro issues, its caffeine acts as an effective antiemetic.

That's why regular Coke is preferable.

Precautions

- Limit to one or two glasses maximum. More can worsen digestion and cause bloating.

- For gastro, use stale Coke at room temperature—the bubbles can irritate the intestinal wall.

- A more natural, sugar-free alternative for stomach aches: baking soda.
