My understanding is if you have heartburn, etc, you take a couple tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. If you feel better, means you have the discomfort from low acid. If you feel worse, you have too much acid. My husband did this test a couple of times, and it definitely makes him worse. So he has too much acid, not too little.

However, Zantac did make him worse, so did other things he was supposed to take for it. Confusing. My CS is slightly acid (I had forgotten about that) so maybe that is why drinking the CS on an empty stomach gives him a bellyache. I think I'll try adding a pinch of baking soda just before he drinks it, and see if that makes any difference.

It was just assumed I had too much acid. The first time I had pain and it went through to my back. The doctor assumed I had an ulcer and didn't think testing was necessary since it was my first problem. The Zantac worked great (took it for 6 weeks) and I never had a problem again with that. Then the other time I was having lots of chest pain which we figured out was really coming from the stomach or esophagus. She assumed it was from acid splashing into the esophagus (acid reflux) and prescribed Prilosec which increased my pain. So I took Zantac again and it made everything feel good. I take it now if I overeat or whatever and have a one time burning pain in the chest. Often Tums or other antacids made me feel like I'd eaten a concrete block.
