It's been nice to use a pH strip since I reintroduced calcium carbonate. What I do simply is see if the urine pH is within an usual range after taking the supplement or a fraction of it. If some times the pH goes a bit unusually high, I just not take the supplement until the pH goes back to normal.
To review a bit, I had a bad experience in the past, when I didn't know anything about the kidneys and alkalosis, taking too much calcium carbonate, baking soda, and lemon juice. After that, for a while I decided to have just milk as my main calcium source. However, I found it beneficial in some aspects to switch to farmers cheese as my main source of protein, at least some days. Since the cheese has a ratio of calcium/phosphorus 1:2, I think it's good to add calcium carbonate.
