test for GERD?

test for GERD?

My husband is going to be in a test study for a new medicine for GERD.  He has not started the medication yet, but went to the Doctor today and they had him blow into something and said that would tell if he had GERD.  I've never heard of this - is it really a test for GERD?

Hi,
Breath test is done to diagnose H.pylori infection.
GERD is confirmed with 24 hours pH monitoring test.
