Soda or Carbonated Drinks
Why is it that when you take carbonated drinks, you feel your abdomen inflate slightly, even though you didn’t eat solid foods? This is simple. All carbonated drinks are preserved with carbon dioxide. For this reason, they can stay for quite long till you open up the bottle for the trapped air to escape into the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide is also the reason carbonated drinks like soda are fizzy when you pop them open. Taking the drink without probably letting enough time pass for the gas to escape might cause their entry into the stomach. When the gas gets to the intestines, it is trapped until you pass it out through a fart. This can lead to flatulence and the feeling of being full. Some people describe the feeling as though something was trapped in their gut.
