How to Use Baking Soda for Treating Acid Reflux
You can use the same kind of baking soda in the kitchen for easing symptoms of acid reflux. It is important to talk with your healthcare provider about this home remedy to determine the right amount. Usually, the recommended dosage depends on age. Teenagers and adults may dissolve ½ teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water and slowly sip the solution every two hours. Children should advise a doctor to know the exact amount. Keep in mind that the relief is only temporary and you need other long-term treatments for acid reflux. Also, taking too much baking soda would actually lead to acid rebound and worsen the symptoms. [4]
