Combining apple cider vinegar with an alkaline compound, such as baking soda, may help neutralize some of its acidity. However, it is unclear whether the common recipes shared on the internet result in the complete neutralization of apple cider vinegar’s acidity.

Combining the two also creates a chemical reaction that produces gas. Therefore, this mixture may cause gas and bloating in people who ingest it before all the gas has escaped.
