No, it can't. This is because lemon acid is scientifically named 'citric acid' and stomach acid is likewise named 'hydrochloric acid'.

Your stomach lining protects your stomach wall from the corrosive effects of hydrochloric acid, so citric acid will have no effect as it is weaker. However, it may give you heartburn!
