what to do about too much orange juice?

Question

if you drink too much orange juice (an acid) and you feel like the acidic qualties are causing you discomfort, should you then gulp down a cup of dish washing detergent ( a base) to effect PH balance?

most of you hvae no sense of humour

Answer 1

Why don't you just chug a whole bottle of vodka instead and make yourself the world's largest screwdriver?

Answer 2

Are you serious or is this hypothetical? Excess gastric acid in the stomach is typically neutralized by the ingestion of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) or another neutralizing agent such as an antacid. So just take an antacid like Tums or Maalox to neutralize the pH. You might also need something for diarrhea because you are probably going to get a touch of that, as well. Too, don't eat a lot of food with the O.J. because that will push the combination of O.J. and normal stomach acids back up your esophagus, causing heartburn. For the same reason, don't lie down for awhile, either.

Answer 3

You should not drink dish washing soap that is dangerous. You should also not drink too much orange juice, it has tons of sugar in it and can be bad for you too.

Answer 4

read the bottle of dish washing detergent, i'm sure it says to call poison control if ingested. do people even think before they ask questions? try and take a rolaid or zantac.

Answer 5

Sure, and then you can call your doctor because the stomach cramps you have are about to kill you! How about trying something like a little baking soda mixed with water instead?

Answer 6

No. You should rush off -- immediately or sooner -- to the ER at the closest hospital. Only a trained professional can help you now. Bless your heart.

Answer 7

I think I'd throw up then why waste dishwashing detergent, just stick your finger down your throat

Answer 8

drink vodka with it to offset the vitamin C.
