A member asked:
Taking bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate) helps during a gout attack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acute Gout: Sodium bicarbonate, (sodium bicarbonate) once it enters the stomach, turns into water and a carbon dioxide gas. The pH of blood is unaffected. Therefore, it has no realistic role as a treatment for gout! There are many effective strategies for acute gouty arthritis. See your rheumatologist.
