A member asked:

I'm taking zegerid( baking soda), for my reflux. can this have something to do withhaving a stone or uti symptoms or is it good for the kidneys?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Omeprazole + soda: Zegerid is a drug, omeprazole, plus sodium bicarbonate. And yes, it can cause acid/base imbalance and interfere with normal renal function. Especially if you're taking extra baking soda on the side!
