But all that refined sugar and chemicals :( Are you surprised that that most ginger ale doesn't even have ANY ginger?! Crazy, right?!
In addition to ginger, peppermint, turmeric, and lemon may also help! So...
Power-Packed Ginger Ale
1/2 inch slice fresh ginger
1/4 inch slice fresh turmeric (1/4 tsp powder)
1 tsp dried peppermint (fresh would be awesome!...few sprigs would probably be just right!)
1/8 inch slice fresh lemon
3-5 pitted dates*
12 oz bubble water of your choice (or more!)
Blend first 5 ingredients with 1/2 c water (I used "whole juice" button on my Blendtec). Then add remaining water and a handful of ice to blender and shake it all up manually. You're all set! I actually add more water and ice as I drink. As you can imagine it's a strong flavor, and extra hydrating is always good! Enjoy!
Bubbly water has even been shown to help your digestive issues! Club Soda for Stomach Pain and Constipation
Paradoxically, I actually drink WITHOUT a straw, since that extra air in your system may worsen symptoms.
*5 dates = 1/4 c dried fruit (one checkmark), but if you want to opt for a lower calorie drink, each date is 30 kcal. Three dates provides plenty of sweetness for 90 kcal.
So this is potentially a 3-check mark Dr Greger Daily Dozen recipe! Cheers to happy intestines!
In case you missed them, here are two other drinks to help you get your daily dose of TURMERIC!

For a really quick and easy version, when I want some ginger ale in five seconds, instead of one minute, I just pour a can of carbonated water into a glass with a 1/2 tsp of powdered ginger. I actually pour 3-4 ounces into the cup, then add the ginger, and gradually add the rest of the can. It gets really bubbly, like a root beer float, yum!
