Does avoiding acidic foods matter if you're acidic?

Who's acidic?: If you're been to one of those fake internet sites that has you self-diagnose whether you are "acidic" or "alkaline", disabuse yourself of everything you've read there. If you simply have excess stomach acid, you'll need to figure out what makes it worse and focus on managing it -- your physician can help.

Meaningless result..: ...Without understanding the context in which your acidity was checked, your presenting problems that prompted the need for medical advice, your risk factors, your underlying health history. The testing you describe is of questionable value when spot checked so don't let someone now try to sell you a lot of expensive supplements/treatments to "correct" a pH problem you possibly have.
