Heidelberg Test | Low Stomach Acid? This Test Finds Out?
In this YouTube video, you will get detailed information about Heidelberg Test.
Today we are talking about the Heidelberg Test.
This is a medical test that checks, how much acid your stomach makes.
Your stomach needs hydrochloric acid to break down food and absorb nutrients.
But sometimes your body makes...
*Too little acid – called Hypochlorhydria
*Too much acid – called Hyperchlorhydria
*No acid at all – called Achlorhydria
That’s where the Heidelberg Test comes in.
So How Does It Work?
In this test you swallow a small electronic capsule, about the size of a vitamin pill.
This tiny device measures the acid level, or pH, inside your stomach.
During the test, you’ll drink a small amount of
baking soda mixed with water.
Baking soda temporarily neutralizes stomach
acid.
Then the doctor watches what happens next.
If your stomach acid comes back to normal
quickly, that’s usually a good sign.
If it takes too long or doesn’t come back that
may mean you have low stomach acid.
The capsule can be...
Attached to a thin string so the doctor can keep it in your stomach longer or
Left free to move naturally through your digestive system.
The test usually takes about 1 to 2 hours.
It’s done in a doctor’s office, and you don’t need sedation.
Besides checking the acid levels, the test can also help the doctors to see...
*How your stomach muscles move (Peristalsis)
*If your stomach empties too slowly (Gastroparesis)
*If food moves too fast (Dumping Syndrome)
*Signs of Gastritis, Bile Reflux, or Mucus Buildup
Besides, the Heidelberg Test gives doctors a clear picture of how your stomach is working,
without surgery or invasive procedures.
If you’re having ongoing digestive problems, this test may help find the cause.
