Acid in the stomach is actually not neutralized in the stomach, as you probably already know there is a layer of mucus inside your stomach to prevent the acid from digesting it. However, acid in the stomach (H+ ions) is neutralized in the duodenum with a base (HCO3- bicarbonate ion) that is found in the pancreatic fluid. The products of this chemical reaction are an undigestable salt and water.

What happens to pH when acid is added to water?
It won't have neutralised the acid but it will be weaker because it is less concentrated

How is hydrochloric acid so dangerous because you have in it your stomach and you don't die?
Your stomach has a mucous lining which protects the stomach tissues from the acid. The acid is still dangerous; - If you vomit it up, it can burn your throat. - If the stomach mucous isn't being produced properly, the acid will damage the stomach lining, causing an ulcer. - After exiting the stomach through the pyloric sphincter, the acid is neutralised by alkaline bile. One other factor is human stomach acid is usually diluted by the things dissolved into it. Hydrochloric acid becomes less dangerous when diluted, but much more dangerous when concentrated.
How can indigestion be helped using neutralisation?
indigestion needs to be neutralised with a medium strength base and magnesium oxide has one .
