Is it safe or dangerous to drink bicarbonate of soda

No. Baking soda is a mixture of two ingredients, soda and cream of tartar which combine to make a raising agent. Baking soda is sometimes used in recipes - I have a date cake recipe where you soak the dates in the soda and hot water first. Baking soda dissolved in warm water is also good for wiping down fridges without leaving a smell.

It won't hurt you but please have this problem checked out by a doctor. There are 2 or 3 possibilities more serious than indigestion.

It is not advisable to constantly ingest baking soda (sodium bicarbonate).
I boil water, after it has cooled I mix in not more than four teaspoons of baking soda to a quart of water, then put it in the fridge.
I drink about four ounces with the juice of half a lemon in the mornings. Rest one to three weeks before doing it again.

Hello, Gaynore -

Apparently bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) in water can help relieve constipation. Read the information here:
https://homeremediesforlife.com/baking-soda-for-constipation/

The information on that web page also indicates that bicarbonate of soda can be mixed with lemon juice in water and drunk for some relief.

Note: Next time you are at the grocery store, you may wish to purchase a bottle of prune juice for future consumption to help relieve constipation. Read information here:

Best wishes.

Bicarbonate of soda is the same as Sodium Bicarbonate which is the same as Baking soda. Same product with different names.

You chill tap water in the SodaSparkle bottle. They give you a 1L soda bottle for strong sparkle and a 1.3L soda bottle for light sparkle.You fill the soda bottle to the marked line and then insert the disposable SodaSparkle carbonating cartridge into the soda making machine.Turn the cartridge and then bubbles form!

Sodas are really unhealthy for you, especially if you drink them on a daily basis. First, sodas contain a very high amount of sugars in them, which contribute to weight gain that can lead to obesity. Obesity increases the risk of heart diseases and diabetes. Second, according to research by the American Heart Association, drinking sodas on a regular basis increases the risk of cardiovascular events by 61 percent. Third, sodas are unhealthy for your teeth and can cause tooth decay from the acidic ingredients. Finally, high consumption of sodas increases the risk of metabolic syndrome, which increases the risk of stroke, diabetes, and heart problems.

Sodium bicarbonate is not a descaling product. It makes a nice minimally abrasive cleaning agent when mixed as a paste. Sodium ions will exchange with calcium in a water softener when the calcium is dissolved in water. Once the calcium salt (calcium carbonate) forms, it doesn't go back into solution in a neutral or basic environment. A bicarbonate solution will be basic.

Descaling requires an acid. The Tassimo products say "Do not use vinegar" (acetic acid). I suspect they use citric acid in their descaling product. You can try the lemon-flavored Kool-aid (the version packaged in the envelopes that needs a sweetener added when it's a drink). Mix 1 tablespoon of the powder in 1 pint of water. However, you'll need to make more than a pint of the solution since you need 500 ml of liquid per cleaning cycle. (1 pint is ~473 ml.)

I hope this helps.
