You must have tried the folllowing test:

"Betaine HCL Challenge Test for Low Stomach Acid

The most reliable test you can perform at home is the Betaine HCL challenge test.

Note: NSAIDs and Corticosteroids increase the chances of ulcers in the stomach and, together with Betaine HCL, increase the risk of gastritis. Consult a physician before trying this test or supplementing.

Each case of low stomach acid is unique and will require a custom dosage of HCL. But one way you can find out if you have low stomach acid is by using Betaine HCL supplements... (1) 650mg or less pill that includes Pepsin.

To Perform the Test:

Buy some Betaine HCL with pepsin.
Eat a high protein meal of at least 6 ounces of meat
In the middle of the meal, take 1 Betaine HCL pill
Finish your meal as normal and pay attention to your body

There’s really only 2 outcomes from this test:

The first is that you won’t notice anything. As you go about your normal life after the meal, nothing will change. This means it is very likely you have low stomach acid levels.
If, as you go about your normal life, you start to feel stomach distress characterized as heaviness, burning, or hotness – then these are signs that you don’t have low acid levels.
This test isn’t completely foolproof either and should be repeated at least one more time on a different day to confirm the first test. One of the biggest causes of false test results is the amount of protein eaten at the meal, so make sure to eat a chunk of meat with the test. If you do get some burning, don’t worry it will pass in about an hour. You can also mix up a ½ teaspoon of baking soda and drink it to help stop the discomfort.

After getting 2 positive tests, it is time to start supplementing with Betaine HCL to get your stomach acid levels where they need to be for good digestion."
