    My mother always told me that there was something in the syrup from Coke(like Coke-a-Cola) that they used to use to settle their stomachs (my Mom grew up in the 50's and I think that there was more syrup in the sodas then, but that's just my opinion :). So, I don't know if it still works, but I still think of it when my stomach feels upset (of course people now always say gingerale - especially when you are pregnant). Hope this helped a little :)

    Coke Syrup which you can buy over the counter at a pharmacy is a good relief of upset stomach. There really isn't a good pop to drink while you have an upset stomach, I just think people prefer to drink sprite or 7up to maintain dehydration while vomiting.
