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.

Recently I took a good dose of soda water at bed time to reduce acid reflux at night. My dosage was about a teaspoon or two in some water. Omneprozole reduced the problem but not completely. I still had some reflux occasionally but the acid was gone

So far as I can tell, it did not affect my sodium level number

I remember a scene in the movie The Man Who Came To Dinner (1942), starring Bette Davis and Monte Woolley, where Woolley's character at the dinner party (with an upset stomach) asks Davis' character if she happened to have "some bicarbonate of soda" for his upset stomach.

She directed him to a kitchen cabinet and told him to help himself to whatever he needed.
