North,
I won't take baking soda orally. The antifungal activity of sodium bicarbonate isn't based in its alkalinity properties.
We have discussed it here in the pass. It is true baking soda is a powerful antifungal. In my country, women do vaginal douches with it to eliminate monilia (candida)
It is also true some lab experiments have found that candida albicans growth better in its pathogenic form in an alkaline media. But, Science is still no clear what provokes candida to become fungal. There are different research pointing to different causes.
If baking soda don't agree with you, avoid it.
Jorge.
