They have shown that when rats or healthy people drink a solution of baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, it becomes a trigger for the stomach to make more acid to digest the next meal

I use it the other way.

I drink a half-teaspoon of baking soda with 8 oz of water before going to bed to counter acid reflux. It's a base that neutralizes the acids that dinner is still causing my body to produce.

Before Zantac and Omeprazole, baking soda was the only thing I used for acid stomach that used to double me over in pain. Everybody told me it would kill me, I’m 80 now and never felt better.
