Many people find taking soda in water helps with IC flares. Those of us who need to restrict sodium intake for blood pressure or other health problems need to bypass this one.

Yes, all citrates alkalize urine
Originally posted by Lindeee View PostI think Calcium Citrate does the same thing with fewer effects.
All citrates encourage an alkaline shift; so patients already taking a calcium/magnesium supplement should switch to a calcium citrate/magnesium citrate preparation. The urologychannel.com
The benefit of this also is alkaline urine helps keep bacterial infections at bay because they can't survive in this environment.Cindi

I take them at every meal, either magnesium citrate or calcium citrate. I haven't tested my urine phbut maybe I should. They seem especially helpful in the morning when I drink my one mug of coffee (low acid) for the day.
