5Ambulatory Acid (pH) Probe Test
The ambulatory acid (pH) probe test is an accurate method to measure the amount and PH of acid juices that flow back to your esophagus in twenty-four hours. Doctors insert a thin, flexible catheter from your nose down to your esophagus, and the tiny device could monitor the PH levels and transmit data to a computer. Another way to detect your acid level is by placing a disposable capsule on the esophagus lining during an upper endoscopy. The device could wirelessly transmit information to a receiver and get passed into your stool a few days after.
