why does diet soda constantly give me gas? (srs

[D-1Gladiator74]

EVERY TIME I have diet soda.. i get constant gas the next day/really smelly farts.. im not sure wtf this is

[BookMonkey]

Carbonation? Causes stomach discomfort?

[DMI_Blaze]

artificial sugars possibly

was hoping for more science then just a statement

[Alchematron]

Aspartame = Rat Poison

Carbonation = Gas congesting internal organs

Best to dump carbonated drinks

Coconut water has replaced my sodas

It's the artificial sweeteners... They give you gas and can cause loose stools due to the fact that your intestinal track can not absorb them very well/properly.

Okay, you must be trolling. I caught this dude pontificating on "complex sugars" in another thread...

Two reasons why you are not credible:

1. You presented no evidence for your claims, which are so vague as to be practically impossible to measure anyway

2. The word is tract. Intestinal tract.

I honestly don't care if you think I am a credible individual or not... The man asked a question and I told him what I know.

I lived in hospitals for 3 yrs by my oldest sons bedside until the day he died. He was born with Gastroschisis and required a multivisceral transplant ( large intestine, small intestine, stomach, liver, and pancreas) at 10 months old.

And this is ALL I lived, ate and breathed till the day my dear son passed away. I am very well knowledgeable of all things nutrition, intestinal t r a c t, liver functions, ect...

I don't need to prove myself to anybody and if he would like scientific info on how ones bowels react to artificial sweeteners then I would be more then happy to look it up for him.

Alrighty, this thread is going in a wrong direction.

In hopes of saving, I'll extrapolate on my initial post.

Sodas are carbonated and a by-product of drinking them is intestinal bloating. Most people associate drinking carbonated beverages with burping, but at a certain point in the digestive system, the gas that is created will travel in the other direction.

Another point to bring up is diet sodas. The sugar alternatives that are used are commonly known to cause stomach discomfort and irritation in some people. Some of these symptoms can be gas, stomach rumblings, as well as as diarrhea (or loose stool as was brought up by another post).

This can also be a side effect of chugging drinks, in general, very fast. The air that is taken in is pushed down the digestive system by the sheer amount of liquid. Depending upon the liquid in question, this can be meaningless, or tragic (in the case of alcohol, on an empty stomach, high sugar alcohols taken in quickly can cause sudden diarrhea - though, this is also in part to the sugar alcohol's effect of water collection in the bowels).

Hope I helped!

Diet sodas make me poop my pants after about an hour.

[BookMonkey]

not sure if this fits in this thread but..a friend of mine told me in their culture they use carbonated water for stomach pains....i was wondering how that works as im thinking more gas in your stomach would make it worse?

Well, it does in minor cases. Carbonated water causes a smaller amount of gas in comparison to carbonated sodas (which can lead to a pleasant feeling when one has stomach pains). The issue with carbonated sodas is the amount that people consume. For medical ailment purposes, carbonated water is usually only recommended in smaller amounts (6-12 ounces), but when most people drink soda (diet or otherwise), they drink beyond 12 ounces.

Wow, defensive much? Just because I pointed out that you're talking out of your ass?

Being in a hospital does not make you an expert in nutrition unless you've somehow invented learning by osmosis. I don't care how long you spent there or for what reason - am I supposed to ignore the fact that you're making up unscientific **** because you have a sad story to go along with it?

You need to prove your claims (not yourself - I don't care about you) if you expect to be taken seriously. Until then, I fart in your general direction.

[winnicandle]

because the body does not like junk food?

Does water give you gas? club soda? (does not to me)

What else do you need to know?

Taco Bell gives me gas. I wonder why? - because its junk food loaded with preservatives and chemicals?

Ya, I know - "find a study that shows that" says the 19yr old internet educated expert.

(nah, just spend $10 at the drive thru and do your own study "BRO") I already have a brain.

A preemptive defense to cover his broscience, because he knows thats what it is. Taco Bell nor aspartame give me gas. Explain that with your PhD from the University of Google.

He probably got "aspartame" and "arsenic" confused.

Yes, blogs and alarmist websites triumph studies that have been posted MULTIPLE times. No way in hell I am going to sit here and waste my time digging up the info again, when I get countered with a CT regarding big pharma and the FDA, youtube vids, Dr Mercola crap, and articles from websites.


They are putting fluoride in or water now. /facepalm Someone that works at a water treatment facility just posted how they don't nearly add levels that are close to being toxic. Wish I could remember who it was.

I'd be willing to bet the moderator is angrier at you for talking out of your ass and spamming us with this aspartame nonsense. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries!

What, are you like 5??? Really shows your "educated" maturity level. But then again I guess I couldn't expect anything less from a petty teenager as yourself.

I don't have a sad or sob story... Sorry you see it that way, but I don't. Not a "woes me" type of person. Rather blessed to have led the life I have so far, hardships and all.

And I understand that boys like to put it on the table, but yours just doesn't measure up with that attitude.

Non-the-less, wish you nothing but the best in your endeavors in life.
