Help, queasy-need ginger ale substitute
Substitutes that work for me: mint tea, peppermint tea and real ginger.
I've sucked on ginger root and made a tea by boiling cut pieces of real ginger root. After the ginger has steeped into the water, sweeten with your choice of sweetener or drink it unsweetened.
Oh, yeah, recently at a sushi restaurant, I got the same effect from some pickled ginger.
Last time I tried ginger ale, I puked it right up along with the rest of my stomach's contents.
Take care,

When l was a kid my mother would always bring the ginger ale to a boil and let it cool a bit and then would give it me... always did the trick.. l know it doen'st sound good but it works.. also you could stir the crap out of it to remove the carbonation, there is also a ginger herbal tea out there that will work to ,,,
Honestly, I'd just get some diet ginger ale and let it go a little flat before drinking it. I don't drink soda as a rule, but I've had it a few times since banding (mostly when I was sick) and it didn't cause a problem. I let it get a little flat and pour it over ice. It works for me.
