Stomach acid and acidophilus are not the same thing, Marc.Here's three separate sources all saying the same thing. From: Does the Probiotic Acidophilus Help Irregularity? | eHow.com
http://www.ehow.com/about_5462532_probiotic-acidophilus-irregularity.html#ixzz2BsU53cj1Dr. Eli Metchnikoff, a celebrated microbiologist, first understood the value of healthy bacteria in the digestive system while examining the role sour dairy products played in pH balance. He determined that the microorganisms in the dairy products, which included acidophilus, helped neutralize the naturally acidic elements of the stomach as well as facilitate the breakdown of food.
From: www.amazing-health-products.com/acidophilus_plus.htmAcidophilus Plus™, combines potency with technology to guarantee that live organisms survive the stomach acid and reach the intestines to deliver five billion viable organisms capable of supporting optimal digestive tract function.

Is acid and bile resistant for intestinal survival In other words, if the stomach is too acidic, the probiotics don't survive and are wasted. LizzieTo:

I think you may have that backwards. Good bacteria thrive in a low pH environment.
They don't call one of them acidophilus for nothing. :-)
Alkalinizing is probably only a good thing outside of the digestive tract.
