I found this article recently. So many people ask me about this, so I have posted it below.
The following article gives a good insight what
happens to the alkaline water in our stomach :
One of the most misunderstood facts about
alkaline water is what happens to it in the stomach. What actually happens to
alkaline water in the stomach depends on what the stomach has in it. On an
empty stomach, alkaline water raises stomach pH slightly. For an overly acidic
stomach, alkaline water can help neutralize excess acidity and may bring relief of mild
symptoms. In Japan, alkaline water is actually prescribed for relief of minor
stomach upset!
ALKALINE WATER AND DIGESTION
If there is acid in the stomach, alkaline water
will dilute it somewhat. Because of this, alkaline water should only be drank on an empty stomach, not with meals. When
food is in the stomach, it will secrete digestive juices. For good stomach
health, these juices should not be diluted.
When eating, you should drink very little fluid
of any kind. If you drink water with meals, water with a neutral pH is best.
Other beverages, such as milk and soda may also interfere with your digestive
juices. When eating, drink just enough fluids to clear the palate so you don’t
dilute your digestive juices.
Alkaline Water Meal Tip: Wait a half hour after drinking alkaline water
before eating. Wait an hour after eating to allow your stomach to finish digesting
your food.

Alkaline water is absorbed in the intestines, not
the stomach!
ALKALINE WATER ON AN EMPTY STOMACH
When the stomach is empty, alkaline water will
pass right through it, directly into the intestines where it is absorbed.
Alkaline water will raise the stomach pH by .5 – 1 pH for about half an hour.
If there is any residue left over from a previous meal, it will be washed into
the intestines.
The reason that the stomach does not release
digestive acids when you drink water is that water is not a protein,
carbohydrate or fat. Because water is not a food that needs to be broken down,
the stomach doesn’t release acids. Water simply passes through the stomach on
its way to the intestines.
Alkaline Water Health Tip: A glass of alkaline water an hour after meals
will cleanse the inside of the stomach.
YOUR INTESTINES ARE ALKALINE!
Many people know the stomach secretes acidic
juices to work, but few know that the intestines alkalize digested food to
absorb it. When alkaline water passes through an empty stomach, it retains its
alkalinity, which makes it easy for your intestines to absorb it.
Alkaline Water Hydration
Tip: The intestines work
best at a pH of 8.3. Because of this, health experts recommend drinking
alkaline water with a pH of 9 – 9.5. That pH range is enough to overcome
residual stomach acidity and deliver a perfectly balanced pH for the
intestines.
