Yeah, what about side-effects? will there be any?
- marktangotango 8y agoSevere bloating, I went off long term ppi and tried baking soda daily. Went back to ppis.
- pault 8y agoHow much is a daily dose?
- toomuchgov 8y agoI had suffered from dueodenul ulcers, and was hospitalized, almost died. This was right before my 21st birthday, so afterwards, during that time in my life, I attended alot of parties, but my stomach would often sour (time of night, food, etc.). I was not much of a drinker, but I would use baking soda at house parties when my stomach started to turn. I would not do it daily, but 1 tsp dissolved in approx 6 oz of water as needed. Works within 15 minutes.
- megaman22 8y agoIt's basically what alka-seltzer, long-time hangover cure, is made of, with a little aspirin added.
- silencio 8y agoMy only experience with this is for chronic metabolic acidosis due to renal failure (in a parent) - there are sodium bicarbonate tablets in 325 and 650mg. Taken multiple times a day. Somewhere around 1500-3000mg/day. Looks like this study was working with a single amount of 2g dissolved in 250mL.
- sp332 8y agoI believe it, this is a warning right on the box of Arm & Hammer. Also if you have any heart problem, the high amount of sodium could aggravate it.
- debacle 8y agoDid you go back to a PPI even knowing the side effects of PPIs? Were you taking baking soda for reflux/stomach discomfort?
- pdfernhout 8y agoWhether baking soda works or not, eating a healthy diet with lots of leafy greens is a proven way to reduce inflammation in the body. Getting the right amount of vitamin D is another. Eating health fats like Omega 3s helps. And engaging in moderate exercise, getting good sleep, and having good connection to family, friends, and nature also help reduce inflammation in various ways. And of course avoid sugar and most refined carbohydrates -- as well as most food additives.

- jbreiding 8y agoSo basically no single fix, just a generally healthy lifestyle accompanied by a healthy balance of stress.
- WalterSear 8y agoExcept you can do all that (have always done that) and still be struck down with run-away inflammation, and without being some obvious genetic outlier. What you are describing is nowhere near the cure-all that unsymptomatic bystanders assume it is.
- maxxxxx 8y agoYou may also get hit by a car or get struck by lightning. Nothing is a guaranteed cure-all but what the GP describes is probably a good idea for a lot of people.
- jrace 8y agoWell cerntainly a good idea to have a balanced healthy diet, taking daily amounts of baking soda is not to keep your self healthy, but rather to help those that have an abnormal autoimmune response. For those with autoimmune disorders no amount of healthy diet is enough.
