Alka Seltzer Gold and other drinks?

[Hobbermittens]

If I am drinking ASG, can I still drink COT and BSD? How often should I do each one? I can't add up all the amounts of things because I am a math moron, and I don't want to die of a baking soda overdose.

[Flava]

Im drinking ural ( was drinking asg before) 2 /day and I mix the cot in it that's it. ( no need for bs if you drink this , but you can if you want to)

I'm sorry, this was another post that I couldn't find and it was super important that I answer this one!!!

Alka Selter Gold HAS potassium in it, so you shouldn't take ASG and COT together. Ural does too, Flava. That's why ASG and Ural are better than BSD/COT because you don't have to do both drinks, only the one.

"Ural is a boy-friendly digestive aid (similar to Alka-Seltzer Gold only BETTER), that is sold in Australia and New Zealand. It is designed to alkalinize the body to help with UTI's and gout. What makes it so great is that it has baking soda and cream of Tartar all in one, plus some citric acid like in lemon, and sodium citrate, which are sodium salts of citric acid, also present in lemon juice...sodium citrate is produced from the reaction between citric acid and sodium bicarbonate, it is an alkalinising agent and according to drugs.com it actually is metabolized in your liver INTO baking soda.

So Ural is basicaly like one stop shopping for TTC a boy. Rather than drinking 3 different drinks (BSD, lemon water, and COT), you can roll it all into one."

Ok but I only do it this month and only from AF to O and only 1or 2 /day so I feel just fine putting some COT in in.
(Last month I drinked some ASG alone and that's it)
I don't think we can drink ural in placed of lemon water because we suppose to drink a lot of lemon water but not a lot's of ural.
Anyway I drink green tea with lemon.:p

Since I can't get the URAL in time for my attempt, is the ASG pretty good then? I actually like it and I have been drinking it 2x a day.

I agree but at least it can take the place of SOME of the lemon water and cut down on some of the liquid.

PLEASE be careful with the potassium - regardless of where you are in your cycle. It's not for healthy pregnancy, it's because potassium can KILL you if you get too much. Plus, starting it and stopping it can make your body start to excrete too much and then when you stop it suddenly, it keeps excreting it and then you end up with not enough potassium, which can kill you even quicker!

It's fine and that's what a lot of people on IG do.

How do you wean yourself off it??

[TTC5]

I would cut your tablet in half and have that for a week and then week after have half a tab every second day. I am by no means an expert though but this is how I once weened off a medication in the past.

This sounds doable. Thanks for the suggestion! :)

Just start taking smaller dosages over the course of time. It can help to up your potassium via diet at the same time, so for a few weeks just add in coconut water or an extra banana (like you guys can even eat any more food.)

Another way to do it is to space out your dosages farther apart, so if you have been taking the ASG or COT every 6 hours, start taking it every 12 hours instead, then drop back to once a day. The more gradually you do it, the safer it is.
