Baking Soda Test Instructions:
Mix 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 cup of water.
Drink the solution on an empty stomach.
Time how long it takes you to burp.
If you burp within 2-3 minutes, you have adequate stomach acid levels. If you don't burp within 2-3 minutes, you may have low stomach acid levels.
The test results will be more accurate if you do it a few mornings in a row
Dr. Michelle also explains that antacids and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) can actually make the problem worse by turning off stomach acid production. She recommends addressing the underlying problem of low stomach acid instead of just using antacids or PPIs to mask the symptoms.
If you have low stomach acid levels, Dr. Michelle recommends checking out her gut health guide 👇 to learn how to replace stomach acid, soothe the inflammation in your gut, and repopulate and rebuild your gut microbiome.

    New subscriber! I want to say thank you for being kind and being very knowledgeable and explaining our health through our teeth(mouth) and gut are connected. It's helping me to be less afraid of the dentist. My past trauma I haven't gone to a dentist in 10+ years. Which I know it's very important now is just fear still holding me back but the knowledge and understanding is breaking the ice so I'm going to say thank you for that!! I wish I live nearby and I can go to a dentist just like you or have someone near my state just like you.
