Brief Answer:
Yes, there is a test which measures the PH and tells us how much it is.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic to post your health query.
Yes, there is a test which places a gastric pH probe in the stomach and allows hydrogen ion concentration to be measured over a 24-hour period.
Do you have any specific symptom related with the stomach? I can help if you give me the needed information.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
