Just found out soap is alkaline. If you run out of antacids and your acid reflux is really bad, can you eat soap to settle your tummy? This post inspired by eating chalk for acid reflux.

    A lot of things marketed as soaps these days are really detergents that contain sulfates and can be very harmful if swallowed.

    Stick to FDA approved medicines. Medicine like tums use this strategy to decrease the acidity. Other medications block the stomach’s ability to become acidic.

    If you have heart burn that won’t go away or chronic acid reflux, see a doctor
