I believe you are correct, it is a LACK of acid that is causing the problem.  
That being the case, when you have acid reflux, suck on a lemon.  That will 
give the needed acid and stop the problem

  Subject: CS>stomach upset /acid or lack of


  Again from this book I have read it is the LACK of acid or the combinations 
of food eaten together that cause this...acid is needed for meats and alkaline 
for startches which nutralize leaving the food to be undigested and peutrafying 
....Sea salt can help ulcers and promote stomach acid to help in 
digestion...another thing is not to use alot or any condiments 
ie;ketchup,mustard,etc....mayo ok coats the stomach...dairy isn't the answer 
but good fats and good meats eaten first,then starch then salad last.Please 
don't pop tums ...when food isn't digesting the proteins can get into the blood 
strem and cause allergies and malnutrition...
