I'm not sure if I posted this question in the appropriate category, so I apologize if I inconvenienced anybody via my wrongful post. I'd appreciate it if anybody who knows anything about the functionality of the human stomach would take a gander at my problem.
Here's the scenario...
At about noon o'clock, I decided to get a drink of Sprite. Having been running late for work that morning, I opted to skip breakfast, so the Sprite was the first thing I consumed all day. The bad thing about this story is that while I was drinking the soda/pop, my stomach felt like it was exploding. I have NEVER experienced anything remotely close to this before. The pain was excruciating enough to cause my cup of Sprite to go flying and to make me double over and remain absolutely stationary for about two consecutive minutes. I typically have a gut of steel that can handle any spicy food I throw at it, so this really caught me off guard. About 12 hours later, my tummy still hurts somewhat; it feels kinda cramped up; but it feels a lot better than it did this afternoon. I typically steer away from drinking pop/soda because of the mere fact that I enjoy water, kool-aid, coffee, and milk much more. I only irabibe pop about once a month, so perhaps this was the reason for such a reaction? Or perhaps the insane amount of carbonation mixed with an empty stomach caused an explosion-like sensation?
Can anybody explain to me why this happened or if there's anything wrong with my stomach that I should be worried about? Any theories regarding what happened will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and input.
