The pH increase with the help of an antacid.
If the antacid is basic, litmus paper would turn blue. If the antacid is acidic, litmus paper would turn red.
An antacid contains hydroxides of magnesium and aluminium, bicarbonates of calcium and sodium.
As an antacid is added to hydrochloric acid (HCl), the pH of the solution initially increases due to the neutralization reaction between the acid and the basic components of the antacid. Over time, as more antacid is introduced, the pH continues to rise until it stabilizes at a higher value, depending on the amount and strength of the antacid used. If the antacid is sufficient to neutralize all the HCl, the pH will approach neutral (around 7). However, if excess antacid is added, the pH may rise above 7, indicating a basic solution.

The company claims that it recalled the bottles because of chemical problems with the bottles themselves. They SAY they will be getting them back on the shelves ASAP as soon as the packaging problem is dealt with, but it's been ages now, and still no rolaids available at any stores near here -- even the foil rolls have disappeared. But that's the official reason given by the manufacturers. In order to substitute you have to buy two products: a standard Calcium based antacid like Tums, and Milk Of Magnesia. The proportion you have to mix them in depends on exactly what you buy.
If you have indigestion after Mexican food, vinegar won't have much effect. You'll be better off with an antacid like Tums or Rolaids.
