speaking of coke

Don't forget that if you have a case of diarrhea  , you can stop it in its tracks with diluted Coke (any dark soda will do). Half Coke and half water does the trick. Try it next time you're in dire straits.

I never  drink soda pop of any kind.  too me it taste like cough syupe. Besides it is  not  good for a person. The last time I drank a  coke it made me  sick, but of  course taking cough  med also.  Boy I learned lesson about how  bad it is  for you.

Then why doesn't drinking a glass of coke cure it as well?  Double strength meds there. lol

I wonder why that would work but I'm out of luck because I never have it in the house

It just doesn't. It's not recommended to drink regular soda with diarrhea. Don't know why dilution works.  I don't even remember where I heard of it, but it's worked well for me and for others I've told about it.

You're totally right about it not being good for you. As a matter of fact, drinking soda can be quite harmful the way some people drink it; like all day long in copious quantities.

But one doesn't normally take meds on a regular basis, so if diluted Coke/dark soda works as a temporary remedy, I see no harm in trying it. Feel free to disregard my recommendation if you're not inclined to try it.

Great news   Would pepsi do it as well?

[cathy37]

I have never heard this before.  It is nice to know because I do have this problem quite often.  I will try this the next time I have this problem.

I have never heard of this. Will have to try next time I  am sick.

Interesting.  I have no idea why diluting a Coke or other dark soda with water would alleviate diarrhea, but it would certainly not hurt to give it a try.

I saw this on the shelf but only in a 6 pack of the what ever is smaller than the 20 oz bottles.  I would like to try it but not buy this much of it.

Look in the cooler for single bottles, but be prepared to pay more.
