> baking soda and stomach problems<

[Guest guest]

I'm confused about baking soda mixed with vitamin C crystals. When do I

take it for stomach problems? and what does it do? I know you take

baking soda to test for stomach acid levels. Thanks in advance!

==>-amy in Pittsburgh, you do not take vitamin C crystals mixed with

baking soda for stomach problems. Vitamin C ascorbic acid crystals

taken alone can be hard on the teeth and the stomach - that is

because it is acid. You mix baking soda with ascorbic acid crystals

to make it less acid. Baking soda buffers the acid in the ascorbic

acid crystals so they are not so acid, so they are easier on your

teeth and your stomach.

==>If you have stomach problems you can take 1 tsp baking soda in

warm water to alleviate the upset and pain, but it is better to

improve digestion first and then you won't have the upset and pain.
