Apparently you can use baking soda (according to home remedy web sites). I don't know what a nettle string is, but I'm gonna say that you shouldn't eat one.
However, there are generic OTC medications that can treat occasional indigestion cheaply (Walmart has a Zantac generic that is $4/box).
If the indigestion is a regular occurrence, you should see a doctor, because you may have a more serious underlying condition like an ulcer, which is easily treated when small but it could get worse and more difficult to treat.

When baking soda reacts with water can it converts gases into minerals?
Baking soda is a base, with a pH of about 8.5. Water is neutral, being neither acid nor base. Adding baking soda to water simply dissolved the baking soda, making a base water/baking soda solution. Relatively speaking, water is actually slightly acid compared to baking soda, so potentially a very small reaction could occur during the dilution process, and if there were such a reaction, the result would be the release of carbon dioxide from the baking soda solution.
How do we treat the symptoms of indigestion?
Indigestion is caused by an excess of stomach acid - causing 'Heart Burn.' Anti-indigestion tablets or liquids are used to neutralise the acid, and so relieve the symptoms of indigestion.
