ABSTRACT:
A non-invasive method for determining gastric acidity in humans, using oral magnesium metal powder while measuring the hydrogen gas response in exhaled breath and belches. The magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid in the stomach liberating hydrogen and the magnitude of the hydrogen released is correlated with the amount of gastric acid produced.
