Why does doctors suggest 7-up to sip for an upset stomach? What in it makes it work? It has always worked for me but I was just wondering about this. It can't be because it's a clear liquid because they say water makes it worse. (water works for me but 7-up is what is usually suggested not water and not even sprite.

i think the fizz is what settles your stomach, similar to like what alka seltzer does. i have also heard that it helps you release gas which may sometimes be the root of stomach issues

Well 7 up doenst hold lot of sugar in it ..Sprite is worst becz it has soo much sugar in it. It helps me when i have an upset stomach. i tend to drink 7 UP and it works even better than any pills. Water doesnt really help me that much .. Never drink sprite when u have an upset stomach .. just as a warning for u to be prepare...

Ginger Ale works for me too. Never did like the taste of 7-up. When i worked with chinese people and I had a cold or the flu, they would boil ginger root and make me drink the juice and I felt better right away.

The lack of the cola and the lemon lime seem to work. In a situation like that, I find ginger ale works for me.

Coca cola was invented a pharmasist name John Pimberton, a pharmasist for stomach ailments and same its the case with Pepsi. Pepsi was markted as pepsin, one of ingredents of digestion. i dont abt 7up, but i feel Pepsi is good for stomach ailments.
