Sheri, Here is some info. based on my previous scientific research:
1)Carbonated drinks actually make your stomach feel worse. The carbon dioxide trapped in the bubbles creates gas, which can create a bloated feeling.
2)Ginger root is fantastic for upset stomachs. Unfortunately, Vernors does NOT contain real ginger root. Neither does Canada Dry. You can find ginger ale with real ginger root at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's - specialty health foods stores. The taste of your ginger ale is very pleasing, and that's probably why you like to drink it when you're stomach is upset.
3)Yogurt with the "good bacteria" or live cultures actually help destroy any bad bacteria in your stomach. It's gotta have live cultures, though.
4)Cola syrup coats the stomach. You can get it from your pharmacist. Many people drink flat dark cola for this reason.
5)Peppermint soothes your stomach.
phoenix, when I was a kid my grandma used to give me cola syrup.
I had no idea carbonated drinks could make you feel worse. I've always drank vernors when I wasn't feeling well. In fact, I'm drinking one right now, but, then again, I'm feeling much better today.
if all else fails... hurl.
:)
just kidding... hope ya feel better soon... they need you AT WORK...lol
I feel a ton better today, actually. And, yes, I'm AT WORK right now. LOL
Barrel aged.. sounds funky. Mom used to give us Bubble Up when we had the flu - henceforth I can't drink it at all now, or 7-Up or Sprite. (GROSS)
My favorite is Gatorade for the flu (or hangover LOL)
ben, believe it or not, both times I was in the hospital, they gave me vernors when I was thirsty.
terry, I've done the gatorade thing for a hang over many a time! LOL
