Sometimes, what seems like "too much acid" can be caused by not enough acid... Sounds crazy, but it happens.  I second Paxiled's request to tell us what's going on, so your question can be more fully answered.

Pretty much all foods contain some kind of acid.  Acid isn't the problem.  So what's happening so maybe we can figure out what the problem is?

Let me add, the amount of acid in your digestive system depends on what you eat, but that doesn't mean the acid content of what you eat.  If you eat protein or minerals, the digestive system must produce an acidic environment to digest it.  Eating a balanced diet helps to balance the stomach between acid and alkaline.  While eating some foods high in certain acids, such as dairy (lactic acid) or an orange (citric acid) bother some people you can just as easily get an overly acidic system by eating a large portion of beef, as it's full of fat, hard to digest, and loaded with protein which requires lots of stomach acid to digest.  That can also bother some people.  It's more complicated that how much acid is in a particular food.  Protein is made up of a whole series of acids we call amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein.  You see?  So again, tell us what's going on and maybe then we can help.
