thats what you should be using to counteract the acid in your mouth from purging.i know ingesting it can upset your stomach though....

 

I do this. It's not the best tasting thing ever but neither is acid plus my teeth are important to me.

 

But does it make you puke?

 

I've heard it's actually good for you because it's do alkaline. It has a lot of health benefits. Google it.
I drink 1/2 teaspoon with the juice of half a lemon in water twice daily. Helps with gas and bloating. Plus the lemon makes it not taste like shit, haha.

 

I have used it in the past to purge. Helps me in the same way that diet soda does. So bad, but at least it helps neutralize SOME acid...

 

It doesn't make me puke but I don't swallow it. I just swish it around my mouth and hold it there for a minute or two and spit it out. I don't know if I'm doing it right, I've only purged a couple of times and I don't plan on doing it again. The soda is just a precaution.

 

Is it supposed to make you puke and how fast does it work?

 

As far as i know it's not supposed to make you puke. It might depending on the person but I just use it to neutralise the acid.

 

Are you referring to drinking it to make you throw up or like, gargling it after throwing up? Because I gargle it after I purge, and then brush my teeth about an hour later, which seems to work, like my teeth are still fine. If you're talking about using it to make you throw up, then I haven't ever done that so I don't know if it works or not, but I've read about heaps of other stuff that you can use for the same purpose of making you throw up, if you're really not keen on baking soda haha.

 

I've used a little baking soda in water to settle my hungry stomach before.

 

I use it to purge. I get a heaping spoonful and dissolve it in a large glass of water and down as much as i can at once (usually like 3/4 of it). Then a jump around for a minute to really get it in my belly. It really helps get things out of my stomach, but its soooo nasty. Also the vomit doesnt taste as bad (sorry if this is too much information). I down the rest once the purging gets difficult again.

 

im confused.. what is the baking soda being used for and how?

 

Some people use it like mouthwash after purging cause it counters the stomachs acid. I use it to actually help me purge by drinking it in water.
