If you’re referring to 2 tablespoons of baking soda, the evidence does not support taking that amount as a routine “digestion” remedy.
It isn’t a proven digestive cleanse or treatment for constipation/bloating.
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) can neutralize stomach acid, so it may temporarily relieve heartburn, but that doesn’t mean it improves digestion.
Two tablespoons is a substantial amount and can provide a very large sodium load. Excessive ingestion can cause vomiting, electrolyte abnormalities, and dangerous changes in the body’s acid-base balance.
It can be particularly risky for people with high blood pressure, heart or kidney problems, or those taking certain medications.
So, don’t use a 2-tablespoon dose as a home digestion remedy unless a healthcare professional specifically instructed you to.
If you tell me what “this” is (baking soda, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, etc.), I can explain exactly what the evidence says about the 2-tablespoon claim.
