Is drinking ENO powder for the last 30 days bad for my health? I've been using it daily and I'm a bit concerned about whether it's safe to keep taking. Could it have any long-term effects?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is not advisable to use Eno powder for prolonged durations. It can cause bloating and erructations as well as disturbances in the normal gut flora due to change in intestinal PH.

I've noticed that my food smells a bit like vinegar, but it's not past its expiration date. Should I be concerned about eating it? Is it still safe to consume?
It is not recommended to consume medications that have changed in smell, as it may affect their effectiveness. It is best to dispose of them properly and consult with a pharmacist for a replacement.
