I want to start taking baking soda to help with my kidneys, but I also have high blood pressure. So anything high in salt is a no go. So can I take salt reduced or eliminated baking soda and get the same results?

sea salt, celtic or Himalayan salt doesn't higher blood pressure!

table-salt from the supermarket does!

google for Barbara O’Neill about salt

Be careful with too much baking soda! I couldn’t remember if I was supposed to take 1 tsp or TBLS - took the tablespoon with water before bed and experienced what my Apple Watch and googling appears to be AFib. My heartbeat was irregular for about 4 hours in the middle of the night. I also have HBP. Since then, I’ve been afraid to to the 1 tsp in water….do not want to experience that again.

Hi Pam W,

One tablespoon of baking soda taken in a glass of water will give most people diarrhea. I have seen a half tablespoon cause diarrhea in some people.
