Use room-temperature water for the best results. Don’t dissolve your Eno in other liquids, such as juice, as it might not be as effective at fighting stomach acidity.
Although you can wait until the bubbles settle down to drink Eno, you’ll miss out on the bloating relief from the gas and pressure burp that they create.
Remember that Eno doesn’t prevent acidity, it just provides relief for it. If your symptoms persist, ask your doctor about ways to prevent acidity for the best results. If you take Eno more than 2 times daily you risk changing your blood pH. This can result in alkalosis due to the alkaline nature of the ingredients.
If you don’t have Eno yet, write down its ingredients—sodium bicarbonate and citric acid, also known as Svarjiksara or Nimbukamlam, respectively—to show to your doctor.

Try getting rid of heartburn naturally if you aren’t old enough to drink Eno.
Keep your Eno powder somewhere safe from pets and children.
Always take a 5-minute break before having a second serving and take note of any acid buildup. If you’re feeling symptoms, stop eating.
Try keeping a chart that logs each meal you eat as well as any acidity that you feel throughout the day. Use this to find which foods are most often followed by acidity problem.
Try decaffeinated tea or coffee if you absolutely have to have a cup. Purchase low-acid coffee to minimize acid buildup.
Decrease your water intake during mealtime, as excessive amounts of water can dilute your stomach acid while eating. If you can’t remember how many glasses to have, remember the “8x8 rule!”
