I had a biology professor tell us in college that both Pepsi and Dr. Pepper were very high in phosphate, which settles your stomach.

I've actually tried it on several occasions when I was sick or nauseous for one reason or another and it really does work well. Just keep the bottle around and take a quick sip when you need some relief.

For me it works a lot better than ginger ale, even though that's supposed to help too.

Ginger ale was the first soda I tried, specifically because I was vomiting.

While I don’t drink soda anymore, ginger ale is the one exception when I am very stressed.
