There is absolutely a rebound effect where suppressing acid production in the stomach over time causes more acid to be produced: https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112564382 https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112564... > Stomach cells that make acid multiply over several weeks of exposure to a PPI in an effort to overcome the drug's effect. When the PPI is stopped, they pour out more acid than ever.

And luckily stepping down reverses the production to "normal" level. PPIs are so potent that you can basically stop the acid production, which is not what you want except for a short period of time.

Which is totally irrelevant as baking soda isn't a PPI.
