How do you know if your stomach acid is high or low?

Generally, it can be judged by observing clinical symptoms, gastric juice analysis, gastroscopy and other methods.

1. Observe clinical symptoms

If there is too much gastric acid secretion, it is easy to cause acid reflux, stomach burning, belching, nausea and other symptoms. If there is too little gastric acid secretion, it is easy to cause indigestion, bloating, early satiety, loss of appetite and other symptoms.

2. Gastric juice analysis

can go to the hospital to do gastric juice analysis, mainly to detect gastric acid secretion function. For example, 24-hour gastric juice PH monitoring can dynamically observe the secretion state of gastric juice.

3. Gastroscopy

can also be done if necessary, not only to directly observe the gastric acid situation, but also to determine whether there is any lesion in the gastric mucosa.
