The Coca-Cola cure

Phytobezoar is a stomach blockage which, unless it is successfully removed or destroyed, can lead to bowel obstruction.

According to a new report, the fizzy drink reportedly has a success rate of more than 90 percent in treating the condition.
The success rate is attributed to chemical ingredients that do a similar job to gastric acid while the bubbles help speed up the process, said researchers.
Even the Diet and Coke Zero options work, because they have the same basic ingredients as the full fat version.
