Why does it hurt my stomach now?

Soda usually helps calm my stomach. Maybe 7up or Sprite would be a better choice? Do you take any medicine that is supposed to be taken with food? I took ibuprofen, prescription strength, and they told me to take it with food. Which I did. But I ended up with two ulcers anway. Drinking soda alone I don't believe would cause you to get an ulcer.

If you are drinking this on an empty stomach that could be why it hurts. The stomach acid and the pop's acid both aren't mixing well. Indegestion caused by stress or fatigue. such as that. The intestine will start to constrict if the stomach is empty and sometimes that causes the empty belly noise and could probably hurt a bit too.

Well, maybe an ulcer. Maybe your body just realized soda isn't that good for it, and it's trying to warn you! lol I've been soda-free for about four years. Soda always gave me such bad gas. It would feel like my insides were tying up in knots and I would be burping for hours. And I'm not someone who likes to burp! I gave it up, and now I only drink water, green tea, and organic fruit juice.

If this is anything important I would like to share this info that soft-drinks have the ability to harden one's bowel.

Hello, SomeCowgirl. My father had half of his stomach removed because he would not stop drinking soda. His drink of choice was Pepsi. It is mine as well but I dont drink it as much as he did. I have read the posts here and many of them seem logical. I think it may be an ulcer, and if that is the case, you should stop. His was an ulcer, and it grew because he just drank so much. Get it looked at, then follow what the doctor tells you. I hope that you get it fixed. Have a great day...

whatever soda it is it doesn't make a difference. it is just a reaction of all the carbonation and caffeine together with some sugar in this drink you should however ask your doctor. you can also try drinking sprite or mountain dew sometimes it can remove stomach discomfort. and here's a friendly tip from me never drink soda in the morning especially if you haven't eaten your breakfast yet. don't drink cold drinks in the morning it may make your stomach bloat ( according to my mom) :))

hi somecowgirl could be the acid in the soda has hit too much acid in your tummy,take anyone of the pills reflux disease and it willsstop the acid and you will quit hurting, j ust because I need the name of an acid blocker do you think I could remember it?well I will comment back some cowgirl

I experience this sometimes. A couple weeks ago my stomach was upset. When i went to work i wiped clean the buttons on the soda machine and a soda fell out. I quickly opened and took a big gulp. Right away i felt a big pai right under my chest. It was burning my stomach. theres been a few times in recent years that this has happen. Im thinking i took too beig a gulp ona empty or upset stomach.

I am now in the U.K. and people use Pepsin here to clean their toilets. I would never drink the stuff. You may be getting an ulcer. Put a copper coin on Pepsin ans see how clean the coin is in the morning. Also full of sugar. Drink something else and see how you feel

Discomfort? Hmmm… maybe you need to see a doctor, because it is so difficult to determine what cause you to feel that way. Sometimes, if we do not feel something pain within us, there is a danger on it. I do not know. It really depends, like a disease name cancer. Someone told me that if you do not feel pain, there is a danger on it. We did not even know that it is already a cancer. So, this is the same for you. We did not know what cause you to feel that way and so, it is better to see a doctor.

My stomach is also paining left side near kidney. I dont know how but since last day my stomach is hurts me.

Some ginger if you have it might help with the stomachache, or maybe some honey. It always helps me. But I don't drink any soda anymore, I have since given it up over 5 years ago. You could loose a pound a year without drinking it, too. It helped me loose weight at one time when gave it up.

Sodas have bicarbonates in them which can give us gas in the stomach. It happens to me too. Sometimes a big burp will help eleveate the discomfort.

I think you're getting too much acid from the amount of soda you had been drinking. And drinking soda in the morning is not something to be desired. It might cause ulcer and eventually cause lacerations in the intestine. You wouldn't want that to happen. But don't worry. We all have that struggle with soda. I do too. I've been wanting to get rid of this bad habit for years and I can't seem to get over it yet. But I do know that I need to stop it the soonest because I am not getting any younger and the older I get, the weaker my resistance is to possible diseases caused by drinking too much soda.

did you eat anything today? could your stomach hurt because you didn't eat? i heard that soda on an empty stomach is not that good for you.

Hi SomeCowgirl, Its wind in your belly i get that all the time you should drink hot milk that will releace it but please make sure your on your own when you do let it go because you will get alot of looks if you don,thahahahahaha. Take care.

pepsi contains acid so if you drink it with empty especially with empty stomach, it will add up to the acids in your stomach causing pain, excessive gas formnation, heart burn or acid reflux. i also feel bloated whenever i drink soda or even a coffee so i try to avoid them. i will have excessive cas fromation that i always want to burp but i can't. so if you are experiencing such try to avoid drinking acidic drinks like soda.

hello there, maybe there is some ulcer, but maybe not that bad but still i think you need to get checked by a doctor. do you drink soda in an empty stomach? like in the morning? because if you do, it will really hurt because of the acid on the soda and the acid in our stomach. that is why most people with ulcers are given Milk of Magnesia (Magnesium Hydroxide). it is an antacid or an alkaline suspension, meaning that it undergoes a neutralizing reaction when encountering anything acidic. i think you should stop drinking soda for a while and just stick to water, then you can observe the difference. if it still continues then you should get checked. i hope i am able to help you. i just learn that from college and studying hehehe. i finished nursing but currently not working yet because i just graduated and passed the board exam a few months ago. i hope you feel better soon. take care

If you are drinking any kind of cola it mustn't be doing your stomach any good, Cola has a high acid. I use colas to clean rust off metals! Try a still juice or water for a while :0)

If your stomach is empty and you drink any soda, it can really cause stomachache. It is because your stomach becomes acidic and a soda contains acid resulting in hyper acidity.Thus,the result of this is ulceration of your stomach. I suggest that whenever you want to drink soda, make sure that your stomach is full or you have eaten.It is because, food makes the environment of your stomach alkaline.I also suggest that you seek a medical help to prevent further problem.
