A doctor told me to use any flat - full sugar - fizzy pop. In order to flatten it quickly, add sugar and watch it fizz! Add a pinch of salt if you want to but only if not eaten/drunk for a few days, otherwise sugar alone will do. It does stop you being sick too - magic. My children used it when younger and it worked - also it tastes much nicer than commercial brands. :money:

when my kids had salmonella i was told to give them flat coke or sprite. It does help.

Flat full sugar lemonade with a pinch of salt maybe?
