I came across an interesting reference from "Digestive Health Center" (published by University of Virginia Health System) regarding "Nutrition Guidelines Following Esophageal Stent Placement. General guideline #8: If food ever feels "stuck" in your throat take a couple sips of Coca-Cola (not Pepsi). This will help dislodge food from your esophagus. You may want to repeat this throughout the day, especially before and after each meal.
I understand the concept that a carbonated beverage may possibly loosen up lodged food, but I certainly hope the person only takes a few small sips, then pauses. But why Coca-Cola vs Pepsi? I have no preference for either one, just curious as to why one is better than the other. Any thoughts? Diane Grabo
