Does adding sugar to coke and drinking it help diarrhea?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
NO: Coke is very toxic (in my opinion) & has way too much sugar in it already. If you have diarrhea now is a good time to avoid sodas & other unhealthy foods. Avoid fried foods & dairy, which can be hard to digest. Drink lots of fluids. Chop up vegies (greens, potatoes, carrots, onions), add salt & simmer in water for 20 minutes; drink the broth to replace lost minerals. If persists see your doctor.

Agree w Dr. Baker.: This is not a recipe to help diarrhea - this is a recipe for something pretty gross. Regularly drinking soda has been linked to Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Diabetes, heart disease & metabolic syndrome. Other possible risks include: increased weight, decreased bone mineral density (BMD) obesity, erosion of tooth enamel, mineral depletion & dehydration.
