Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If you are sure that the diarrhea you have is from the coke, then the only remedy is to stop taking it, and wait for the body to remove it from your system. It is not good to stop that type of diarrhea, because the caffeine should get out of you. Taking milk may make it worse, so avoid taking milk.

Try to have a diet with apples, toast, bread and rice, because these foods have the components that you lose during diarrhea and it is good to substitute them.

Drinking plenty of fluids it is very important.

If the diarrhea lasts more then 3 days, if you have blood or mucus, then you should go and see a local doctor to examine you and prescribe you medicines.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
