A member asked:
How do i test for low stomach acid? i had endoscopy and doc said i had mild inflammation in esophagus, and some gastritis. but i think it's low acid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wrong: Low acidity in the stomach happens very, very rarely and it is never associated with inflammation of the esophagus. Most likely you have acid reflux, which means that acid reaches the esophagus and causes symptoms and damage
