To test for Hydrochloric Acid,get Betaine HCL capsules.Start out by taking one 
capsule 15 minutes before a meal;then two caps.15 min. before next meal.Keep 
increasing by one until you feel a peppery,burning in the stomach;then drop 
back by one.This will give you an indication of how much or little you have.In 
my case,I was up to seven before I felt it.Since I drastically modified my diet 
I just once in a while take some to test and find I don't need more HCL.
