acidifying or not... tat is the question

been having gastric pain for the past few days, last nite was the ultimate.... pain until can't straighten my body.... hubby scolded me, saying cos i ate the mango after dinner. but mango is acidic meh?! refusing to take his reproach laying down (almost literally), i began my search on "is mango acidic?"

i came upon this Alkaline and Acidic Food Chart.... before i could find the answer to my initial quest, it leaves me grasping in horror! according to this "general guide", there are many food which we never ever imagine are acidic are actually acidic!!

eg. under grain and grain products: oatmeal, rice, wheat, noodle, macaroni, spaghetti, bread, crackers, flour!!! tat's it lah! then i eat what as staple food?! *roll eyes*

under animal protein aka meat: beef, cod, fish, lamb, lobster, oysters, pork, salmon, scallops, shrimps!!! practically list all the meat.... and under the alkaline column... sorry they dun even have a category for animal protein!!!! thank goodness chicken is unknown.... *deep sign of relief*

so in order to alkalize my body so tat it won't a sickness magnet (at least not gastric magnet).... i'll practically have to be a vegetarian tat can't take rice or noodles, but to survive on cucumbers, shitake and tofu and occasional chicken?? some one kill me please............. -_-"

the only good piece of information i get out of this is, mango is alkaline forming!!! err..... hmmm.... together with limes? *scratch head*
