Just found out soap is alkaline. If you run out of antacids and your acid reflux is really bad, can you eat soap to settle your tummy? This post inspired by eating chalk for acid reflux.

The better replacement is baking soda. Mix a tablespoon in a glass of water, chug. It’s gross at first, but it will annihilate heartburn.
Be warned! The reaction’s byproducts are H2O and CO2, and the reaction doesn’t end in your stomach. Be prepared to expel gas out one end and water out the other.
The burp let’s you know it’s working, and who couldn’t benefit from extra hydration?
I love doing this. It’s like an elementary school science project in my tummy.
No! A teaspoon max.
DO NOT INGEST A TABLESPOON OF BAKING SODA.
Don’t normally have acid reflux, but last night I hit a tablespoon, three times over the night. Yes, that’s quite a bit.
That’s a lot! What was the effect? Have you taken that much before?
In my own experience if I take more than a teaspoon in maybe a four hour period, I start getting undigested leaves coming out the other end.
