You will have to go off any acid blocking drug for about 4 days...when
testing, to get a more accurate result.
Thank you Mrs.D!

I read this article before and I was about to test the second one - baking soda test. I actually bought a pack of baking soda, but on the same day, I was diagnosed with MAC. So, I had to prioritize taking hte antibiotics. I take the antibiotics first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. This is the recommendation of the doctor from NIH I talked to (on the phone). It seems that there is a "stronger kick" if taken on an empty stomach. I am concerned if I try the baking soda test before taking anything in the morning -- if it will interfere with my antibiotics.
