Yes that's right! I am only suggesting it for a bladder flare to provide relief. Usually with IC or cystitis a bladder becomes inflamed and irritated from acidic urine, the baking soda provides some relief, I am not recommending it on a daily basis.
hi sandra am confused if i have low bicarbonate does that not mean i have acidic blood, plus i get alot of utis?
Bicarbonate decreases the acidity in your body. Bicarbonate is, in actuality, carbon dioxide (or, a blood gas). Your kidneys help maintain healthy bicarbonate levels.
