does ginger ale actually help with nausea or stomach problems or is it just a myth?

Question:

Answers:
Ginger Ale with actual ginger can help nausea. Brands like Canada Dry and Schweps do not have ginger in them, so you may get help from the sugar and bubbles, but not as much help as you would from a brand like Hansen's.

It helps to keep you hydrated and it has helped my girls from being more ill than they were before they drank it.

yes ginger is good and so is garlic yes Sprite helps too

Ginger has digestive value.the carbonation added will sometimes ease stomach distress. However, don't drink it really cold if your stomach is upset. Sometimes a really cold drink on an upset stomach only makes it spasm.

I personally think it helps.

real ginger helps with stomach troubles, but i don't think there is any real ginger used in ginger ale anymore. i find that heavily carbonated drinks help me with nausea, but i think it's because they make me burp, relieving whatever pressure is making me feel bad in the first place. standard ginger ale (carbonated soda) will not really help, they took out the ginger. ginger ale soda is good in general because it is lite and bubbly without being over kill

if you go to ginger beer (the high octane version of the soda and still has the ginger) then it will either cure you or eat your stomach lining (depends on your tolerance level)

if you eat ginger in almost any form it will relieve nausea, the easiest way is the chewy ginger candies or crystalline ginger

beware of ginger teas. omg they taste nasty!

My grandmother swore by it .I don't think she'd steer me wrong. Ginger – is considered a “hot bitter” which stimulates the production
of stomach secretions. This herb also combats nausea and vomiting.
Ginger also possesses carminative, antiflatulant, and spasmolytic
activities.
