Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hey there Brad Using Baking soda as an antacid will not hurt you although Baking soda should not be taken on a full stomach or to help/aid digestion if one has over eaten. However, looking back at my post I should of included waiting 1 to 1 1/2 hours after eating to take the baking soda and the dose cab be from 1/2 teaspoon up to 1 1/2 teaspoons with a 1/2 glass to full glass of water to relieve acid indigestion or heartburn. You should definitely not take arm & hammer as it has aluminum in it - go to a baking soda without aluminum. Also, people who are on a restricted salt diet / intake should not use baking soda as an antacid. You should not take baking soda for nausea, gas, stomach aches, or cramps. Only as an antacid if after your meals you are having issues with digestion and wait a good hour to hour and 1/2 after eating. Good luck PS Where did you hear about he candida treatment with maple syrup it sounds fascinating. Anyone out there know if this works?

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 The reason that ACV and/or baking soda works, is because food needs either an acidic environment or an alkaline environment in order to digest, depending on the food. This is why food combining is important. Eating meats and breads/pastas together is a no-no because they both require different environments in order to digest properly. (When we eat the wrong foods together, the digestive enzymes which are acidic or alkaline neutralize each other and the food just sits there, rotting). The problem with using baking soda is that it is completely useless if you are experiencing indigestion from meat. If meat is causing problems, ACV would work better because it provides what is necessary to help digest the meat. As a matter of fact, ACV is a natural remedy for heartburn because they say that we are experiencing it because the body is overproducing acids in order to digest. If we help it out, it stops. While it sounds ridiculous to add acid to stop acid, it works. Now if you have an ulcer, that is a different story. I'm speaking of a normal gut with abnormal activity, such as low production of HCl or digestive enzymes. Personally, if I know I'm eating something together that I shouldn't, I take digestive enzymes either before or as soon as I feel the first bit of discomfort. If you have gas at all, you need to change the way you eat, and/or take digestive enzymes. Seriously, we all say it's a " normal part of life " but gas is not normal. When I eat correctly, I have absolutely NO gas. Gas comes from rotting food in your intestines.not normal! Now, when you start eating a lot of fiber you will have gas. But if you gradually add fiber to your diet and build up, not so much. People who say they can't eat " such and such " because it causes gas are " full of it " lol.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Ditto. To ease the inflammation I would make sure that I practiced good food combining, so that good digestion is taking place. Also make sure to eat healthy liver/gall bladder foods since bile reflux could be causing your problems. Definitely add raw honey to your ACV. Nausea is a symptom of gastritis, so it would make sense that the ACV would cause this from time to time. But overall, it's benefits far outweigh the nausea. But I'm telling you, if you don't take an overall approach to what's going on by improving diet, stress, etc. you will always have a problem. I would definitely look for some hot teas for digestion. There are lots out there, and they will help soothe your digestive system as well as aid with digestion. Just go to the tea section of your local health food store and most of the teas will tell you what they're for. I've never tried one that I couldn't drink. Some are spicier than others, but usually they will tell you on the box what to expect as far as taste.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 How much acv are you taking ? Might want to mess around with the dosage a bit see what happens. Or drink more water with it. The nausea is probably just a sign that your gastric juices are starting to flow. Keep working on your gb the rest of your problems should resolve once your stone free. Arrrg....I have to do another flush Kinda sick of that olive oil, its so narsty! Anyone ever try those olive oil capsules that we talked about months ago?

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 haha Well said Evie, especially the end part And good that you mentioned about the Aluminum, the last thing we need is more heavy metal exposure. Arm and hammer does make an aluminum free version. I think I have to special order it from my pharmacy.
