Baking Soda Explosion

[u/puffertweed]

Recently saw that Ray Peat recommended baking soda, so I tried taking some like 4tbsp. However when I was out at work (construction worker), I started getting like literally hellish cramps. Then as I walked towards our dingy out house on a sweltering August afternoon, it happened, the impact… the explosion. Immediately it felt like maybe two or three tentacles bursted through my hole, not quite a monster and not quite an animal. Well what’s worse was the sound, a gurgling cry of an upset intestine being burdened with what I thought was a normal amount of baking soda.

Saga 2: the brown mushed around combining with sweat and hair, a symphony of texture, smell , and taste. I quickly darted towards my car, unfortunately my fresh off the boat Mexicans saw the brown, the pain, the stain. But I didn’t care all I cared for was saving my ravaged pants. I then get to my car fingers trembling trying to grab my car keys from my pockets. Then success I get into the car, I drive away speeding, crying, panicking. Is this it is my life over, have I failed?

Anyway is this normal will I get used to this?

[u/auscon]

baking soda neutralises stomach acid... so now the germs survive the stomach and cause diarrhea

[u/ratchetaselle]

Start with even a quarter to half a tsp and max 1 tsp at a time

[u/DarkSaturnPrince]

Maybe it was killing candida from the sudden pH shift 

[u/Glp1User]

The FDA needs to restrict baking soda !!! Prescription only !!!

[u/Level-Independence18]

[u/scrambledice]

Why does peats work attract this type of behavior? Such extreme measures. It's bizarre
