It is the oldest trick in the book: mixing a teaspoon of baking soda in water to settle an upset stomach. But this "harmless" kitchen remedy can actually be lethal. In this video, we expose the terrifying reality of Gastric Rupture. When you mix Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda) with high levels of Stomach Acid (HCl), it triggers an instant chemical reaction that releases a massive amount of Carbon Dioxide gas. If your stomach is full of food or unable to release that gas quickly enough (via burping), it can expand like a balloon until it literally tears open. We also discuss "Acid Rebound"—how neutralizing your acid so quickly actually signals your body to produce even more acid an hour later, making your heartburn worse in the long run. 👇 IN THIS VIDEO, YOU WILL DISCOVER: ✅ The "Gas Bomb" Effect: The chemistry of NaHCO3 + Acid = CO2 Explosion. ✅ Barotrauma: How rapid expansion tears the stomach wall (a surgical emergency). ✅ The "Full Stomach" Rule: Why taking this after a heavy meal is the most dangerous time. ✅ Sodium Overload: Why the high salt content is a nightmare for your blood pressure. ✅ Alkalosis: How drinking too much can disrupt your blood's pH balance. ✅ Safer Alternatives: What to use instead for immediate, safe relief (like Alginates). 🚫 Don't risk a rupture!
