Default Re: Stomach acid assessment

I enjoyed this information Jo, as this home test looks like a good pretest to determine stomach acid levels. I wondered how any doctor could assume that folks with morgellons had high stomach acid levels without doing some testing first. Sometimes low stomach acid symptoms can masquerade as high stomach acid symptoms, especially in the elderly, who most often have low stomach acid, but a greater amount of heartburn to match. So I think that being able to do a simple test like this at home is wonderful to know about. Then if one has questions about how to proceed more definitive testing might be the next step.
