You can add a section to your "i cured my gout web site". While drinking baking soda 3 times a day 1/2 tea spoons at a time I have not had a single incident of heart burn. I used to suffer that on almost a daily basis. I'm only about 2o lbs. Over weight and fairly active. Also used to wake up with bile creeping up my throat if I ate after 5:00 pm. Went to the doc, got scoped and was diagnosed with a hiatel hernia. He told me to loose weight. I had to take nexium about 2 or 3 times a week. The section you should add to your site is "i cured some one elses g.E.R.D. I no longer take nexium or tums.
Thanks

I am very glad you have successfully treated your gerd. Baking soda is an old time alkalizer that is more powerful than tums, and works faster than nexium. The amount of sodium in 1.5 tsp. Of baking soda is about the same as the amount of sodium in 1 tsp. Of table salt. It's advisable to cut salt intake when taking baking soda. Also watch out for the side effects of baking soda. When appropriate I will mention your experience in my webpage.

Another good way to deal with gerd is to eat a lot of broccoli crowns or dark green leave veggies. They contain a lot of minerals and fiber and are beneficial to gerd. If it works then you don't need to take baking soda.

You haven't mentioned what baking soda did to your gout. It worked for it too?
