The lemon-flavored Italian digestive, made of sodium bicarbonate (a.k.a. baking soda) and not a whole lot else, has been around since the 1800s. In Italy, it’s sold in supermarkets alongside things like preserves, flour, and baking powder.
It’s not marketed as a medicine, and it should not be treated as such. It’s not candy, either.
Enjoy it as it’s intended: two tablespoons of the fizzy pebbles dissolved into water. May help with heartburn, nausea, and any other run-of-the-mill stomach aches. It’s also delicious and refreshing, like sipping lemonade on a hot summer day.

- For upset Stomach due to heartburn, acid indigestion and sour stomach.
