No matter what I do, eat healthy of junk food, stomache is constantly upset.
I had about 2 hours ago, Green tea and a while later a Turkey breast sandwich, with cottage cheese (low fat), brown bread slice..
and stomache doesn't seem to calm down..loud noises..upsetness..and all.
A while back I went to the hospital to find out what's up with the stomache of mine, and it turns I have extra aciditiy..I don't know if that has to do with anything...
Stomache upsetness, and god knows what else...
Another thing, even when i have normal 'so called' healthy breakfast...healthy cereal, egg, green tea..it all results the same damn way...its too frustrating....i think i cant handle 'egg, milk...etc' dairy stuff much...seems like it.

I'm actually not sure. I would think it makes no difference. Some Protein can cause Bloating, then again some carbs can occasionally, like Maltodextrin is known to be an occasional cause of bloating for some, but I'm not sure Dairy directly impacts on Stomach Acid production either way.
The one thing that might help, is eating something like Orange, or Pineapple, or other Acid Fruits.
They reduce the PH of the environment, because they are not the same level of acidity, as the Hydrochloric Acid in the Stomach, the Fruit Acids are lower PH.
However Fruit Acids have a slight downside, as the reduction of the Acid environment, can inhibit Pepsin production, which means they could indirectly affect Protein digestion, as Pepsin is a Protein Enzyme.
So I would suggest if you eat anything like that as a Fruit option, you definitely need to space it like other Fruits, with at least 15 minutes prior to eating other foodstuffs, maybe longer, so the Fruit passing into the Intestines and starting to digest, is made easier, by not being hindered in the Stomach by said other foodstuffs.
Most Fruits though like that are not Carb rich.
Orange or Tangerine has about 9g Carbs, Pineapple Slices about 19g.
So if you eat something like that, perhaps add another Carb source to boost Carbs, and have it after Fruit, so the seperate Protein option is eaten last, to prolong the time between Fruit ingestion and Protein ingestion, which might be more Protein sparing, in terms of possible Fruit Acid affects on it's digestion.
One option you might be worth looking into Fruit wise, would be Pink Grapefruit. Pink offers you potentially the same amount of Carbs, and a similar Micronutrient profile to regular Grpaefruit, though I can't say for certain, I'm assuming based on them being similar Fruits.
However it's one of 4 known fruits to contain Lycopene, a Carotenoid that destroys skin aging Free Radicals, so it's effects on protection of young looks, is good in that respect.
Another such Fruit of possibly significant Carb yield, would be Pink Guava, for the Lycopene also, and for it's size, (it's a similar size I believe), I suspect would yield similar Carb potential, though I don't know this outright.
Again it is also an Acid Fruit.
The other thing to consider though, is some of the Fructose from Fruit can convert to Fat in the Liver.
In this respect, the additional Bloodsugar spike first thing is fine, when Bloodsugar is lowered.
Later on the day, maybe for mid-morning or lunch perhaps, not so beneficial, so to make use of the Acid Fruit, PH lowering properties try this.
Have half an Orange, as part of your Carb profile mid-morning. It's segmented, the best type of Fruit for this, as you can remove and keep half the Segments, wrapped up for lunch, rather than a half chewed piece of Fruit, which might look a bit manky in places after 2-3 hours.
Make sure you space the Fruit as per usual, to increase its chances of digesting, and decrease it's possible affects on Protein digestion, then have some other form of Carbs to increase total Carb ingestion.
Same with lunch, Segments first. 15-20 minutes break, remainder of Lunch.
This process of using Acid Fruits to reduce Stomach PH, may work, (I can't guarantee that, I'm using logical reasoning to make this point), but it might.
Other possible options include
More water. A bit like in science classes, pouring a lot of water into Acid seemed to nulify its acidic rage to some extent.
You could have a glass first, to see if this works, as the Water will get primary contact with the Acid. Though you will expand the Stomach lining, contributing potentially to some minor bloat, during or after eating.
This technique is usable as a Fat loss technique, as when you feel full sooner, owing to some Water ingestion first, you won't want to eat as much as usual.
The downside is, it's hit and miss. An overweight or obese person, might find they don't want what they consider, a normal sized portion of food, and therefore eat less, but just eating less is uncontrolled, and not scientific enough, and such a method might prevent more specific calorie reducing.
Not so good when you need to cut certain Fats and Sugars down, and a big chunk of your rejected food, is also Protein and a bit of Fibre, or other more beneficial things compared o tsome of what you did eat.
Finally possibly just something like a Peptobismol or Zantac-75, etc etc. Stomach Acid regulators.
