The most accurate test for low stomach acid is the Heidelberg Stomach Acid Test, available at specialized gastroenterology clinics. Alternatively, a gastrin blood test or esophageal pH monitoring may help. Consult a gastroenterologist to determine the best diagnostic method. Avoid relying on the baking soda test for accuracy.

To manage gastritis, follow a diet that includes bland, easily digestible foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, plain crackers, and lean proteins, while avoiding spicy, fatty, acidic, and high-fiber foods that can irritate the stomach lining.
