Just perusing the new posts today and I see that several people have mentioned AlkaSeltzer Gold being beneficial for their symptoms.

I'm just wondering which of your symptoms benefit from ASGold and why (scientifically speaking) does it work? What's going on in the body when ASGold is added....?

I'm just curious.

I started taking it once a day every day this week since rifampin. I think what it does is alkalizes the body.

Due to the 1300mg of sodium bicarb in each tablet, I'm sure it does alkalize the body. I've noticed that when I take even regular alka seltzer, I tend to retain water due to the sodium. The water retention combined with the inflammation that I already have from the lyme results in me feeling more discomfort as opposed to less. That's why I was wondering the how's/why's of its efficacy.

oh- I am not sure about it. It does seem to help my herxing. I am not sure why alkalizing helps other than that generally being too acidic is bad- I am not sure why it works. But it seems to help.

My LLMD has me taking 2 tablets of Alka Seltzer Gold along with 1 tsp of liposomal Glutithione. He states it eases the herx symptoms and helps with detox.
