Taking baking soda for stomach acidity has some effect.
The main ingredient of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, which is an alkaline drug that has a certain neutralizing effect on stomach acid, and can treat stomach discomfort caused by excessive stomach acid, such as acid reflux, stomach pain, burning sensation of the stomach, etc. It has a quicker onset of action after taking it, and can quickly relieve stomach discomfort. It can be used as an adjunctive treatment for patients with simple gastritis, gastric erosion, gastric ulcer and other milder conditions.
The effect of baking soda to inhibit stomach acid is limited and shorter in duration, it cannot be applied alone or excessively, it can relieve the symptoms but not cure the disease. Baking soda should not be used if the patient is at risk of bleeding or gastric perforation to avoid causing an increase in gas in the stomach and aggravating the risk of bleeding or perforation.
The application of baking soda needs to follow the guidance of a professional doctor, do not use drugs indiscriminately to avoid delaying or aggravating the condition.
