I get acidity a lot and someone told me baking soda in water helps. But im not sure if its safe ab pregnancy mein. Does anyone use it or should I just avoid?
Don't go drinking baking soda water for gas or acidity, it's not safe. A little bit in your home-made idli batter is fine, but for acidity, just ask your doctor for a safe gelusil or digene.
Please be extremely careful. I had high blood pressure issues during my pregnancy, and baking soda has high sodium which can worsen it. Don't take any home remedies like this without asking your doctor first.
Using a little baking soda in cakes or dhoklas is completely safe, dear. But don't drink it with water as an antacid, because it has high sodium which can increase your blood pressure. For acidity, ask your gynac for safe syrups.
While consuming small amounts of baking soda in baked goods is clinically harmless, using it as a home remedy for heartburn is not recommended due to its sodium content. It is always best to consult your doctor for pregnancy-safe antacids.
When I had acidity at my parents' house, my mother gave me cold milk or fennel water instead of baking soda. They always preferred natural kitchen remedies over chemical powders during pregnancy. It's much safer for the baby.
Medically, systemic absorption of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can affect your body's pH and fluid balance. Eating a slice of cake is fine, but do not drink baking soda water. Use prescribed calcium-based antacids instead.
Oh, I would totally avoid it just to be safe! I used to stress so much about even a pinch of baking powder in my food. It's better to stick to simple, plain food and avoid anything that might cause a blood pressure spike.
