I am usually a type D exclusively, but lately I have been soooo bloated and am wondering if I am becoming constipated. Anyway, I'm at work right now and I can't get out to go to a pharmacy. Would it be ok to drink a soda to help with the bloating, or would that make it worse?

I don't know , but I would think the carbonation in the soda may cause you more bloating.Sorry I know that isn't much help. Hope you feel better.

Soda makes it worse. Just think; if coke is usedto remove the rust from a car battery, what does it do to ones tummy? Drink ginger tea. It works great for me.(plus the capsules)

Any carbonated drink - either sugarless or straight is very bad for bloating. I would also drinking the ginger tea over the soda.

Carbonation tends to make things worse.Some people use Coke Syrup for nausea, but I don't know it would be helpful for bloating.K.
