How do I use sodium bicarbonate for acid reflux?

Answered on 6th Jan '25

Sodium bicarbonate is a remedy that can help reduce pain such as heartburn or stomach acid reflux by neutralizing acid in the stomach. The most undoubted relief that can be obtained by consuming the prescribed tablets is three times daily, either with meals or in the event of discomfort. Swallow the pills with a full glass of water; the maximum allowed dosage should not be exceeded. Common causes of acid reflux include particular foods, overeating, or excitement. In case symptoms last or get worse, please refer to your gastroenterologist.

Hi. I ate leftover food from last night for lunch. It was in the microwave last night and morning time I put it in the refrigerator. It didn't smell bad when I smelled it and it didn't make me sick when I ate it. But I was worried to much if I made a mistake eating it. So I forced myself to throw it out. Please advise ????

Consuming food that has been out of reach for a certain amount of time might result in food intoxication. The symptoms of food poisoning may include aches, discomfort, cramps, nausea, and vomiting. If there is no evidence of these symptoms after you eat the food, it's likely that your body didn’t react.

Constipation means less number of bowel movements or finding of it difficult to do so. This can happen due to the lack of fiber and water in the diet. You did a good job with spinach, veggies, and apple. You can also try giving her more water and whole grains along with her meals.

I'm having chest pain in the middle, below my ribs, it feels tight, and aches, and causes a sharp pain when I move forward, and I, wondering it it is just aside reflux or should I got to the hospital?

You should see a gastroenterologist for the assessment of your symptom of chest pain. Whereas the acid reflux might be a possible cause but it is necessary to rule out the other serious diseases like heart problems. Immediate medical attention should be sought without delay to establish an early diagnosis and treatment.
