Is alka seltzer just sodium bicarbonate etc?

Question

whats in alka seltzer? i really feel nauseaous and people recommend sodium bicarbonate so i made a glass and it was horrifyingly like alka seltzer. last time i felt sick and had a glass of alka seltzer it made me throw up violently like a volcano for hours and couldnt even keep down water...

so, should i take the sodium bicarbonate or not given the above info?

if not what else can i do to make my tum stop feeling like its going to explode and me puke? (tho not as violently as a volcano so im better off this way?)

Answer 1

Yes everything white and powdery that claims to ease stomach upsets is sodium bicarbonate. If they make you sick then dont take them you could be allergic see your doctor to see if he can perscribe an alternative.

Answer 2

As with all medicines, a;ways read the label. That should tell you.
