Soft drinks hurt

[Catnip]

Does anyone else get a really bad stomach ache from regular soft drinks? I have to drink diet or I feel like dying... unless I water it down. It's very annoying, especially the weird looks from people when a 160 pound, 5'10, 18 year old orders a diet drink.
So, anyone else? Is it just too much sugar? I can eat boxes and boxes of candy and be straight, but regular sodas FTL.

Probably, I've had stomach cramps all week long.

But the soda thing always happens, lol

soda is very bad for you, more so than you prob realize. Stick with water or gatorade...

[Stormhammer]

I have acid reflux so it always hurts

I do drink more than I should, but water makes me drink a lot... then I end up peeing every 15 minutes...

Man, this is serious. Your stomach is producing to much acid. I have this same issue and actually didn't know what it was so I tried to maintain and not drink too much etc... until one day I started cough up blood and I had ahole in my Esophagus(< spelling) I went to the Dr. got on Nexium and then went to have a Enoscopy (They scope your throat to look for damage and cancer). The day after i had the procedure it got really bad and my esophagus all but closed up and I had a attack. I thought I was having a Heart attack and I started praying to god to forgive me and take me home. I was seriously thinking it was over and I'm only 31.
I went to the ER and the did a EKG and blood test etc... they finally realized it was a esophagus attack that feels very similar to a heart attack.
Since then I have had about a half dozen of those attacks but I have learned how to calm myself and control them and now lately my acid reflux is becoming more manageable but it takes a LONG TIME to heal because that soft tissue takes for ever to heal. I still pop anti-acid pills every meal and watch the things I eat like, really greasy foods or acidic foods and drinks like tomoatoes, orange juice, ESPECIALLY soft drinks, wine, even beer quadruples your stomach acid with only one 8 oz. can. I have learned that there are certain foods that set it off more than others, Beer doesn't hurt me unless I drink a 12 pack, but orange juice, coke, soda in general, and a lot of wines will instantly hurt my throat and I know.

Think about the burning sensation that a coke feels like in your mouth, that is what it's doing in your throat and stomach but that tissue down there is MUCH more sensitive.

Listen, I lost my grandmother and two of my Grandfathers to stomach related cancers, one of them was specifically esaphagus cancer. I know it's a very serious thing and the symptoms should not be ignored.
The Emory Dr. that operated on my G-father to remove his cancer said if he would have treated it when he realized he had acid issues he most likely would have not ever gotten the cancer and eventually died. He was in perfect health before that hit him.

Sorry for the long winded post but it's serious stuff.

Soda is bad for you anyways...

[ISAtlanta300]

Drink more water instead

[FasTech]

I wouldn't know! All I drink is water and Sweet Tea..... Never been a fan of Soda at all, once in awhile I'll order a Orange Fanta or something but I can't drink Coke, Pepsi, Dr Pepper, etc....Anything dark because it makes me sick and throw-up.... Not sure why... But water and Sweet Tea work for me.
