Malaysia is well known for its plethora of food choices and with that being said, many Malaysians may actually suffer from stomach problems.
Just recently, a Malaysian doctor shared a story about his patient.
In his post, he said:
“A 35-year-old woman was suffering from immense pain in her abdomen area. She got 2 of the strongest pain killers in the world (NSAID and Morphine). The pain subsided for a bit but hours later, she started feeling the excruciating pain again.”
“She was referred to get a CT scan done and results have shown that her small intestine has been completely blocked.”
“When asked what she had for dinner last night, she mentioned that she had Korean food and has admitted that she ate a lot of Enoki mushrooms. She said that she “didn’t entirely chew the Enoki mushrooms,” she just swallowed it after a few bites.”
“Normally in these types of situation, she will be referred to a surgeon and will have to get surgery done, but I advised her to buy Coca-Cola and consume that. 2 days later, she managed to “pass” everything out and is no longer feeling any abdominal pain,” the doctor recounted.
While this may sound absurd to some, a study completed in Athens would say otherwise.
According to the study, it was said that 46 patients were observed under this study and results have shown that:
- 91.3% of patients were able to recover from the administration of Coca-Cola.
- 50% from the 91.3% were able to recover from a single administration of Coca-Cola.
- 41.3% from the 91.3% were able to recover from the administration of Coca-Cola, along with endoscopic methods.
- 4 patients out of the 46 patients needed surgery to help with the issue.
Who knew that Coke had other unintended ‘health’ properties? This page is NOT a recommendation to self-diagnose; instead, for appropriate medical guidance, consult a licenced medical authority.
