I've been drinking alkaline water for 3-4 years now and I've never had any digestion problems.
Also, at my new place that I moved into last year, I'm on a private well with a filtration system I setup and the water I have here is WAY healthier than the chlorinated stuff that comes out of the tap on the public water system. Since the water comes out of the ground there are no chemicals added to it and it comes out at a naturally balanced 7.0 pH level when I last tested it.
Most bottled water is purposely made to be acidic because it prevents bacteria growth etc. Last time I tested the water from a bottle it was at 5.0pH level. Why would it be 5.0 pH when water coming out of the ground is 7.0 ph? Think about it. Water that's been made acidic is the same thing as pasturizing almonds, milk etc. It's a step to prevent lawsuits. It's not good for us.
You don't need to spend millions of dollars to alkalize your water. You can pH drops which are pretty inexpensive, or you can even just squeeze some lemon into it and it will make it more alkaline.
Works for me.
