Lactic Acid build up

Do you have scientific proof that it increases lactic acid? Or is this more "fodder" for the FDA?
I read in a report that it did. And someone else posted something about it on here somewhere too. I'll have to do more research and then get back to you.
I am just wondering if the gurggling stomach issues have to do with excess lactic acid...and if so, if there is something I could eat/drink that would help.

Excellent! Spoken like a true statistician! :geek:
As far as the PG stuff goes--the only concerns my learned colleauges at the university hospital expressed to me were: [drumroll] possible increased leg cramps [/drumroll]... As our bods process PG into Lactic Acid, the increase in this might cause some cramping. newbie runners sometimes sometimes suffer this as a result of the extra lactic acid they develop as well... my response was; since our bodies process cigarette smoke into--> cancer i will live with any leg cramps.

Some light stretching or exercise should help... lactic acid disappears pretty quickly when it builds up in the muscles. I have a link for you... can't post it though until I post this message telling you about it (#15)...
sodium bicarbonate neutralizes acid ..I did have a spell of having a tea-spoonful in water a day because someone suggested it, at first I thought it made me feel a little less lethargic....but it was more in my imagination than anything else.
I think you're confusing lactic acid with stomach acid... What kind of stomach issues are you having?
Lactic acid only occurs in the muscles... if you're having stomach pains, then its not related to that.
If you're having heartburn, or a build-up of stomach acid (causing a burning sensation in your stomach) I'd recommend tums, pepcid ac, or, for more natural cures, an apple, apple cider vinegar, or aloe vera pills.
Although if it's vaping related, you may want to switch to glycerin bases vape liquids, just in case that helps.

sodium bicarbonate = baking soda, for those who dont know. that sounds like it wont work. lactic acid isnt that kind of acid.
your body naturally processes lactic acid, your tissues rid it at a given rate, and most of the time, it is gone before it can build up and make muscles feel sore or burning, like your legs after a vigorous sprint. your liver naturally removes it as well and turns it into sugar (glucose).
lactic acid is not dangerous, it is a part of your bodily process, and dont be afraid of its elevated production through vaping. you have to do some serious vaping, probably at a rate impossible to achieve, to actually feel a discomfort from it. it wont kill you, and probably not even be felt.

I too read that PG causes mild lactic acidosis Primer on kidney diseases - Google Books (And so does nicotine, exercise, high protein intake, sugars, cola drinks, orange juice etc..)
Side effects of mild acidosis include gastrointestinal problems, fatigue, canker sores. So if the natural buffering system in the body is overworked..a natural bicarbonate drink like mineral water (alkaline ) is supposed to be effective in buffering the acidity.
Bicarbonate's Importance to Human Health
It was also discussed a little in another thread here..

Hope you feel better soon

I think you would have to ingest a very large amount of PG to reach lactic acidosis.
I can't see vaping causing any significant lactic acid increase in our bodies. The amount of PG inhaled is just too small.
