Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but there is no need to worry as baking powder consists mainly from sodium bicarbonate ( baking Soda) together with an edible acid.. If you are still suffering from gases and discomfort then you should take dysflatyl tablets three times daily or before every meal. I hope I answered your question. if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion..
