You want to make sure you don't overdo the bicarb.
Our bodies are designed to be acidic in the stomach. And then when the stomach contents are acted upon by the acid...proteins broken up, etc, certain nutrients activated, when the stomach contents move into the small intestine, then bicarb is added by the pancreas to neutralize the acidic stomach contents.
If you interrupt this system in a drastic way, you can negatively affect what happens in the stomach. Heavy use of antacids which is what bicarb is leads to Milk-alkali syndrome. Here is an explanation:

So please be careful and moderate.
