Acidity Self-Test

Introduction

Use this checklist to get a sense of how acidic you may be.

Determining your acidity levels isn't an exact science, but this Self-Test can help you get a better idea of how urgently you need to begin alkalizing your body.

Directions

   1. Print this page.
   2. Make a mark next to any of the symptoms listed here, if you have them.
   3. Count the total number of symptoms in each category.
