Your question underscores a common misconception about stomach acid. There is generally not "too much acid" in your stomach. There are only 2 conditions that result in elevated amounts of stomach acid:
1) A very rare condition called Zollinger Ellison syndrome. Don't bother looking it up - you don't have it.
2) A relatively common condition of H pylori bacteria infection causing higher than normal acid production, which can lead to ulcers.
So, the perception that one has too much acid is almost always erroneous.
