It has to be made alkaline in order to avoid acid reflux. It is the condition where food and stomach acid push back into esophagus which may cause burning pain in the lower chest accompanied by other serious symptoms.
Food from the stomach needs to be made alkaline to neutralize the acidity from gastric acid. This neutralization is essential for the function of intestinal enzymes and for the absorption of nutrients. The pancreas secretes bicarbonate to accomplish this task.
