Although I don't have heartburn, I suffer from LPR such that when I go to bed at night, I cough.
Two triggers for me seem to be coffee and carbonated drinks (soda or beer). Even if I have them at lunch, I might end up coughing at night.
Taking some baking soda helps, but many sites warn about baking soda causing rebound acidity later.
Here's my question:
Let's say I figured out exactly how much baking soda would bring the pH of a cup of coffee from pH 5 (acidic) to pH 7 (neutral). I could take that amount right after the coffee.
Think that would work?
Any way to determine that amount other than buy some pH strips and test?
