Much to my RO's consternation, I drank a lot of Coke and it worked well for me. I eventually switched to carbonated water and that works well also. I think that the carbonation helps to loosen food particles and flush them down. You just have to experiment.
Caution: Coke will rot your teeth - so if you drink that you will have to go the distance with impeccable dental hygiene.
