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.

So grateful there are Dentists that practice While Body Dentistry, like yourself. My career was in the field of dentistry, managing multi million dollar practices for nearly 20 years. I've always believed that conservative dentistry was best, but the last 5 years have radically changed my understanding of allopathic dentistry. We love your products and educational materials!
