How to Remove Acid From the Stomach?

Several methods can help remove or neutralize acid in the stomach, providing relief from discomfort. Here's a breakdown of options:

Methods to Reduce Stomach Acid

Method	Description	Considerations
Diluted Baking Soda	Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) can neutralize stomach acid.	Use sparingly; excessive intake can cause side effects.
Diluted Lemon Juice/ACV	Lemon juice or apple cider vinegar (ACV) diluted in water might help some individuals.	Despite being acidic, they can sometimes have an alkalizing effect after digestion.
Milk	A glass of milk may provide temporary relief.	High-fat milk can sometimes worsen acid reflux in the long run.
Chewing Gum	Chewing gum stimulates saliva production, which can help neutralize and clear acid from the esophagus.	Choose sugar-free gum to avoid dental problems.
Ginger	Ginger root, consumed in soups, smoothies, or tea, may help reduce inflammation and stomach acid.	Use in moderation; some individuals might experience adverse effects.
Iberogast®	This herbal remedy is used to relieve digestive issues and improve symptoms such as acid reflux.	Follow the instructions provided on the product label.
