No, antacids repress stomach acid production and balance out Pepsin and HA. That's good for things like GERD, but not for food poisoning.

Stomach acid is a big defense against germs, and if you're on antacids, you have less stomach acid.

Point is, antacids can actually worsen food poisoning and make you more susceptible to it.
