Do you do this on an empty stomach, or after a meal?Replied by LittleWing from Boston on 04/06/2021
You can do either. If you've had the wrong thing to eat and you're getting heartburn you can take it then. If you have constant trouble with heartburn you can do either. Maybe once in the morning and then again before bed.Replied by Rob from Kentucky on 11/02/2025
Baking Soda for Sour Stomach.From the Book: A Friend in Need, Facts worth knowing about ARM & HAMMER BAKING SODA as a proven medical agent 1925.

In order to secure the best results with Arm & Hammer Pure Bicarbonate of Soda (Baking Soda) when taken internally, certain simple rules must be observed. Materia Medica, Pharmacology and Therapeutics (Bastedo, Page 88) clearly outlines these rules as follows:
“The effect of an alkali in the stomach will vary according to the nature of the stomach contents at the time of its administration. In the resting period (after food is digested) sodium bicarbonate merely dissolves mucus and is absorbed as bicarbonate into the blood, to increase its alkalinity directly.
“In the digestive period it reduces the secretion of gastric juice, neutralizes a portion of the hydrochloric acid, liberates the carminative carbon dioxide gas, and is absorbed as sodium chloride.
AnchorAnchor “In cases of fermentation or ‘sour stomach’ it may neutralize the organic acids and so result in the opening of a spasmodically closed pylorus (the opening between the stomach and the small intestine); while at the same time it acts to overcome flatulency (accumulation of gas in the stomach and bowels).
“The time of administration must, therefore, be chosen with a definite purpose. Usually for hyperchlohydria (excess of acid) one hour or two hours after meals will be the period of harmful excess of acid.
“In continuous hyperacidity and in fermentative conditions a dose an hour before meals will tend to prepare the stomach for the next meal; or sometimes a dose will be necessary immediately after eating, because of abnormal acid or gas having been present at the commencement of the meal. (For the average person one-half hour after meals is recommended).
“A dose at bedtime tends to check the early morning acidity, or a dose on arising cleans the stomach of acid and mucus before breakfast.”
Whenever taking a bicarbonate solution internally the soda should be dissolved in cold water.

So in gut fermentation and acidosis, when everything one eats just ferments and creates lots of poisons, one should take dose of 1 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate mixed in 250ml of water and another dose 30 minutes after meals?If so, for how many weeks, months should one follow this protocol?
What other things could be done to correct this horrible situation?
