What is the Gastric Fluid test?

To figure out how much acid is in your stomach, you take the stomach acid (Gastric Fluid) test. It also checks how acidic the contents of the stomach are.

Why done? 

The following are some of the reasons your doctor might want you to have this test:

• The doctor will examine the patient to see whether or not the anti-ulcer medications are effective.
• You can do this when you want to see if the material is coming back up from the small intestine.
• The goal is to find out what caused ulcers.

Procedure: 

It is done after you haven't eaten for a while, so only water is left in your stomach. This is when the test is done. Using a tube, stomach fluid is taken out of the body. The tube is put into the stomach through the esophagus (food pipe).

Gastrin, a hormone, may be injected into your body to make you feel better. This is done to see how well the cells in the stomach can make acid. The contents of the stomach are then removed and looked at.

How does one prepare for the test? 

For 5 to 6 hours before the test, refrain from eating or drinking anything.
