Why does soda make your tummy hurt?!
Question: Why does soda make your tummy hurt?
Answers:
The carbonation in soda is CO2 gas (Carbon Dioxide) and when you drink soda, especially if you drink it quickly, the carbonation makes the gas build up in your stomach causing your stomach to have to expand to deal with the excess gas. Once you expel the gas (usually through burping) your stomach should feel a little if not entirely better :]
If it is REALLY hurting your stomach, you may have a peptic ulcer. If that is the case you should most definitely see a doctor.
I hope this helped!
Be healthy, be safe :]
If your tummy hurts when you drink soda, you probably have too much stomach acid. Acid (like in oranges and lemons that give it the sour taste) is also present in your stomach, and helps you to break food apart to absorb it. Sometimes a stomach can become too acidic, though, and then the acids inside can cause pain to the stomach.
It might be because you haven't eaten solid food in awhile (tummies really dislike being completely empty and then getting soda). Pop is much less acidic than your stomach normally is, but if its making your tummy hurt you should consider eating something like a healthy snack (or meal, or drink a glass of milk instead. Milk is great for upset stomachs (unless you're lactose-intolerant) because it helps neutralize stomach acid.
It might be that you feel the sugar rush as nausea (the sick-to-your-stomach feeling). If that's the reason for your tummy hurting, then you might want to talk to your doctor about testing you for diabetes. Diabetes is a health condition where your body doesn't digest sugar correctly, and having a lot of sugar in your blood can cause you to feel ill. If other foods give you the same experience (like cakes, or candies, or even pastas), try eating and drinking them less and see if you feel better.
think about it: this is not natural nourishment! this is not a substance found naturally in the environment and has lots of chemicals and artificial flavors! no wonder your body is angry with you! unfortunately, consuming lots of salt sugar and fat makes your body crave salt sugar and fat. hence the rise in heart attacks, diabetes, and obesity in this country.
Don't really know what you mean by Soda. If it's laced with caffeine... that maybe it !
