Question
Hello doctor,
I sometimes have cramping pain in my abdomen and it's intermittent. I suspect a bowel obstruction because I have had a laparotomy. Every time I have a new pain, I drink a few cups of Coca-Cola and it goes away. The doctor asked me to drink Coca-Cola to get rid of my stomach ache, is it due to intestinal obstruction and is it necessary to have surgery to cure it?

Hello,
With the question “Drinking Coca-Cola from abdominal pain is it due to intestinal obstruction? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
For the case of intestinal obstruction, it is impossible to drink Coca-Cola, so the doctor does not think you have a bowel obstruction. You should see a gastroenterologist to have an accurate diagnosis of the cause of the disease and appropriate treatment for you.
If you still have questions about abdominal pain, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
