The alkaline tide is neutralised by the secretion of H + into the blood during HCO 3 − secretion in the pancreas. [2] Postprandial (i.e., after a meal) alkaline tide lasts until the acids in food absorbed in the small intestine reunite with the bicarbonate that was produced when the food was in the stomach.
