    It has happened to me. I was recently taken off caffeine all together because it was messing up my gallbladder. The doc told me it is a diuretic. I would stop drinking it before it does any more damage to you.

    It is only a diuretic when ingested in large doses.

    Also, diuretics just make you pee more.

    soda always makes me feel bloated and kinda queasy, once i weaned myself off of refined sugar and went vegan, normal sugary things that i used to love now make me feel ill. Our bodies become conditioned to things, so its possible that your body may have just kicked it out of your system and is taking some time to get used to it again.

    Yes, my girlfriend has the same reaction. We figured it out - for her it is the high fructose corn syrup. She can drink (many) sodas with real sugar, but give her one with HFCS and off to the restroom she goes....literally.
