OT-Alka Seltzer Gold substitute

[Guest guest]

Sorry, this is a bit off-topic but I didn't know who else to ask. My

son is having a die-off reaction to yeast and I would like to give

him Alka-Seltzer Gold but I can't find it (we live in Ontario,

Canada). Can anyone tell me what is in it so that I can look for an

equivalent? I found a product called BromoSeltzer which has 3.683 gm

of sodium bicarbonate and 2.667 gm of citric acid per packet. This

looks to me roughly like what you would have left if you took the ASA

out of regular Alka-Seltzer, but I wasn't sure if the Gold was

different. Also, what would be the dose for a 40lb 2 year old? And

when do you give it?

Thanks for any help.
