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.

Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
