Hey all,
Just had someone tell me I should be taken some sort of tablet to stop belly ache after open water swimming?
Is that right?

Years of jet skiing in local water areas and now swimming canals (the last time was completely covered with duck weed, and previous to that we've also bumped into a dead decomposing wildfowl carcass ) but still yet to suffer.
I say why mess with a winning formula!
HHHMMMMM COKE urban myth or placebo? Maybe with some polo's
Will prob drink it again, if I do that Tri next season ....
Drink too much it rots your Gut
Coke use the syrup to clean the engine bay of their lorries.......
I believe the the urban legend anything that can leave my teeth feeling dry and squeeky after 1 mouthful has gotta kill loads of stuff....and wind propulsion on the bike..........bonus
Anyway, flat coke is reputed to have settling properties but this link disputes that

As coke is acidic it seems counterintuitive to use it to settle a stomach upset, having said that have used it myself. Ginger and mint are effective and part of the natural remedy medicine chest for centuries.
