I'm pretty new to goats myself, but I'm going Alpine/Nubian mix as well.
Yep, baking soda will help with bloat. I use positive pellets on my goats, that seems to work. I do it when they need it, and never have had an issue... You just feed it with their grain so it's easier to do. Keep in mind it doesn't take care of hook worms or Liver fluke..
Also, first thought mine were grinding their teeth too, but soon realized they were chewing their cud....
Make sure to get a buddy for her another doe or wether, they do much better in pairs. Also, make sure you gave loose minerals for her to eat when she needs, if no other animals, use one just for goats...
