Re: N-Gastric String Tests

I'd like to place an order for Gastric String Tests, but they only

come in boxes of 25. The cost is $12.00/capsule + shipping. If you

would like a few of these to use in your Clinic, please contact me at

drbenton@... sometime this week, if you'd be willing to split

the order with me.

For those of you who are not familiar with these, they are gelatin

caps with a little string in them for stomach pH testing. The patient

swallows the capsule (while holding onto the string.) After a brief

period of time, the patient pulls out the string. You then check the

color of the string against a pH strip to determine stomach acidity.

It's a quick and easy way to demonstrate to a patient the status of

their stomach acid. Thanks!
