>Don't know. Your stomach has a thermostat to keep it at a certain
ph. So if you take something excessively basic, it squirts out more acid.
If you eat very acidic foods/drinks then you stomach may become temorarily
skewed towards being acidic, but it goes away after a while.> Also, if this indeed the case, how does some who is lactose intolerant substitue milk to increase alkalinity in the tummy? I suppose I can take some Tums or something like that, but I wanted to keep my drug intake to a minimum.

You could try drinking some "Milk of Magnesia"
(magnesium hydroxide--nothing to do with milk).
Its very mild.John
