Amalaki (Sanskrit) / amla (Hindi) / nellikai (Tamil) / Indian gooseberry is said to be good for acidity in Ayurveda. The fruit part of the plant, phyllanthus emblica, IIRC. Very widely used in India in different forms for many ailments. There is amla eaten raw, amla juice, amla murabba (a sort of sweet dried or wet candy), amla in honey (just had it today), in triphala, etc. Rich in Vitamin C and has many benefits.
I use it.
Triphala, another Ayurvedic remedy, is said to be a general-purpose cleanser / gut detoxifier/ digestive tonic.
Very commonly prescribed by Ayurvedic doctors.
Check out the Totapuri and Rajapuri varieties. Can be eaten ripe too, and are middling good that way. But what I came here to say is, we as kids used to eat them raw to semi-ripe, sliced into just a few large pieces, and with salt to taste, on lazy summer afternoons, while reading a book or comic. And for some reason you could eat a lot without getting a stomach upset. They had a tangy mildly sour and mildly sweet taste, that did not pall, even on eating large amounts. :)

True. That's roughly what it says (in other words) in the blurb for this vi quickstart tutorial, and why it is quite applicable for the purposes you said:
