an alkali
The safest one is magnesium carbonate. Although alkalis will neutralise acids, they will do damage to the human anatomy, so don't use alkalis. Magnesium carbonate is the active constituent of 'Alka-Seltzer' or 'Milk of Magnesia'. Magnesium carbonate is a chemical salt. Remember all carbonates react with acids to form another salt, water and carbon dioxide. The stomach acid is Hydrochloric Acid which magnesium carbonate will neutralise. Here is the equation. 2HCl + MgCO3 = MgCl2 + H2O + CO2(The burp). Calcium carbonate can be used, but the taste is very chalky.
Stomach juices is acidic. Reason is it contains HCl.

I suppose that the reaction between fruit/vegetables juices and hydrochloric acid from the stomach are not so important. Juices can increase the acidity in stomach.
Carbonation
An acid is not a form of energy.
digestive juice acid
An acid is not a form of energy.
A base will react with an acid.
Stomach juices is acidic. Reason is it contains HCl.

Hydrochloric acid is present in the stomach. It has a pH in the range of 1-2 depending on the amount and type of food consumed. It is about .5% of the liquid in the stomach.
