I take a glass of baking soda water before I eat or drink anything that may harm my bladder. I believe that it does help quite a bit. Although, I still do have flares.

it seemed to be somewhat helpful but I had to drink like a liter of baking soda water to feel any difference. It taste pretty terrible as well.
