baking soda - NaHCO3
this baking soda here is a weak base and the stomach pain you mentioned is actually is nothing but acidity, this usually occurs when one overeats causing the stomach more HCl to digest the food. The extra HCl will cause irritation in the stomach by taking a weak base like sodium bi carbonate or milk of magnesia the acid will get neutralized because -
acid + base = salt + water
and this processes provides relief in the irritation.
hope i helped!
