hmm just read this about thyroid and acidity which is what i thought about why the acidity bothered me so bad:
Individual digestion and metabolism also plays a role in determining whether a food leaves an acid or alkaline residue. For example, certain foods containing organic acids, such as citrus fruits and tomatoes, which normally leave no acid residues, may be incompletely metabolized in some people and are acid-forming for these individuals. This is quite frequently the case where stomach acid is low or thyroid activity is subnormal (5).

Drinking milk is a sure fire way to stay acidic.

Juicing will trun you alkaline. Try and juice 3 to 5 glasess of fresh jice daily with kale and collards as part of the juice.

Yeah, ditch the milk, and most of your animal and cooked products if you want to alkalize yourself. Eat TWO big salads (no iceberg lettuce) daily, with lots of extra virgin olive oil, and squeeze lemons and limes into water and guzzle that down.

Above all (you probably know this but it bears repeating) NO SOFT DRINKS.

forgot i posted this thread! that's how out of it am.

no softdrinks, milk was recommended in dr. clark's book so i thought it was ok, and i eat a salad every night after work plus lots of herbal teas and juicing and STILL am acidic. for about the last 2 mos when at work i've been drinking hot water with lemon, nothing else.

i'm wondering if i have an ulcer; i do have 'gastroenteritis' for what it's worth. the metformin i was on made my stomach raw.
