Today, I was suffering from acid reflux. I was told that drinking water laced with baking soda would help. Nope, all it did was create a huge belch that made me vomit all over myself. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was unfortunate enough to discover what happens when you vomit mid-drink at a water fountain. FML
Today, I got really sick after drinking a lot of alcohol and started throwing up. Every time I threw up into the toilet, the water would splash back up into my face. FML
Today, I was feeling nauseous so I decided to take some Pepto Bismol. However, the fake cherry flavor immediately made me vomit all over the kitchen floor. FML
Today, I choked on water so hard that I threw up and shat myself. FML
Today, just like every morning, I had to make myself throw up all the acid in my stomach just to make room for a little bit of food. No doctor can fix my problem, and my family still thinks I’m doing it to lose weight. FML
Today, I had a terrible stomach bug. I quickly jumped off the toilet and crouched over the bowl. I vomited with such force that I splashed the shitty water back into my face. FML
Today, I have severe back pain that is only relieved by lying flat on my bed. I also have acid reflux that is only prevented by sitting straight up. FML
Today, while 9 months pregnant, I was sleeping soundly for once, cuddling with my cat, having a nice dream… until I woke up choking on acid reflux, peed the bed, peed on the carpet and all over myself trying to get to the bathroom. This is not the first time this has happened. At least I didn't puke this time. FML
Today, I thought I’d do something for my digestion and forego the after-lunch coffee, as it always makes me gassy. Well, without the coffee apparently all the gas just stayed inside. Whatever it did in there gave me a pretty awful stomach ache. FML
Today, I was consoling my drunk husband as he violently emptied his stomach contents into our toilet. One particular retch made me nauseous, and I vomited all down his back, causing him to turn his head and vomit all over the wall. I got to clean it all up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Baking soda helps reflux quite well. If it didn't, it could be something else that causes similar symptoms, like gall stones or esophagitis. If the symptoms continue, rather than self-medicating or taking advice from "someone" (including me), go see a doctor.

damn I feel for you. I have a huge fear of vomiting so that is like my worst nightmare.

Maybe you put too much in. It can actually work, I've had to do it myself while pregnant! Otherwise gaviscon, or alkaseltzer works good too!

Ugh, acid reflux is the worst, I always keep a pack of Tums nearby in case it hits

I find Bananas or Milk relieves it :)

I find milk helps. A higher fat content milk is best but baking soda and water isn't the greatest. I hope you feel better soon.

Baking soda and water DOES help. You just need a little bit (about a tbls) of baking soda with a whole glass of water. Sip it and take your time with it. Don't gulp it down (if that's what you did).

it's suppose to help neutralize the acid since it is a base but the taste could be revolting I suppose

that actually works but it sounds like you drank a whole glass all at once try a little bit at a time anyway prilosec is a much better answer about $0.40 a pill also if this is a constant thing you should talk to your doctor about it
