While some research suggests baking soda may have anti-inflammatory properties, it's important to note that taking baking soda while on diuretics can be risky. Baking soda can interact negatively with diuretic medications, which could potentially cause harmful side effects. Although there's some early research showing potential anti-inflammatory benefits of baking soda, it has not been clinically recommended for treating rheumatoid arthritis. It should never be used as a replacement for prescribed medications. Please speak with your healthcare team before combining baking soda with your current medications, especially diuretics.
