on 10/30/2009 If you're suffering from continual acid indigestion with no relief, try drinking about a cup of water mixed with a teaspoon baking soda. This helps neutralize the acid. You can expect some heavy burping withing a short bit, and diarrhea likely within the day. This is not something you should do on a frequent basis, as this can cause an imbalance in your body's ph balance. But it can help during a bout of discomfort of which you might find no other method of relief.
