Answer 2

hello mate,
According to Medicine Net, drinking small amounts of baking soda is harmless and may actually cure mild cases of heartburn or indigestion. It should never be consumed in very large doses as this can make a person sick, according to MedlinePlus.

The active ingredient in baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, an alkali substance often used to neutralize stomach acid. Arm & Hammer gives directions for using baking soda to relieve acid indigestion, sour stomach or heartburn.

MedlinePlus warns that baking soda overdose is possible and cautions specifically against soda loading, the dangerous practice of drinking large quantities of sodium bicarbonate in the theory it helps with athletic endurance and performance. It does not, and soda loading may result in poisoning that requires treatment at a hospital.
