Oh absolutely, if you drink too much baking soda water, it tastes so metallic and salty that it can instantly make you throw up. I tried it once for my bloating and it was a terrible experience. Please be careful with it, it's really harsh on a sensitive stomach.
Consuming baking soda in large quantities can severely upset the acid-base balance in your stomach, leading to vomiting. If you or someone else has swallowed a lot of it and is throwing up continuously, please do not ignore it. Get them to a doctor or hospital immediately to avoid complications.
My son tried a YouTube remedy with baking soda for his stomach gas last year and ended up vomiting twice. It really upset his stomach lining because of the sudden chemical reaction inside. I highly advise parents to stick to simple ginger tea or consult a pediatrician instead of these raw remedies.
I know how awful it feels when you try a home remedy hoping to feel better, but it backfires and makes you vomit instead. I felt so stupid and anxious when it happened to me. Please don't be hard on yourself, just drink some plain water, rest, and let your stomach settle down.
Honestly, stop trusting these random internet hacks that tell you to drink baking soda for health benefits. It is highly alkaline and can cause severe stomach irritation and vomiting. Always check with a certified doctor before consuming anything that isn't standard food.
Yes, consuming baking soda in an incorrect ratio can cause a sudden release of carbon dioxide gas in the stomach, stretching it and inducing vomiting.
