What's this test for?
This test is ideal if you're experiencing persistent stomach pain, indigestion, nausea, or unexplained digestive discomfort. It detects H. Pylori infections, which are a common cause of ulcers and chronic gastritis that can lead to more serious stomach problems if left untreated. Many people use this test when they have ongoing stomach issues and want to identify if bacteria is the underlying cause.
How should I prepare for this test?
For initial testing, no special preparation is required—you don't need to fast or stop eating normally. However, if you're on proton pump inhibitors or antibiotics, discuss with your physician as these medications can cause false negative results. For best results, provide a semi-solid or solid stool sample (not watery or diarrheal) in the container provided by the lab. If you're testing to confirm eradication after treatment, wait at least 4 weeks after completing antibiotics before testing.
What's included in this test?
This test measures Helicobacter Pylori Antigen using an enzyme immunoassay on a stool sample. H. Pylori is a bacteria that lives in the stomach lining and is strongly linked to ulcers, chronic gastritis, and increased risk of stomach cancer. This stool antigen test is highly sensitive for detecting active infections and is also useful for confirming whether treatment has successfully eliminated the bacteria.
What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive doctor notes in simple language explaining whether H. Pylori was detected and what this means for your digestive health. The notes include personalized recommendations about treatment options, dietary adjustments to support healing, and guidance on when to follow up with a gastroenterologist if needed. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your results over time using our trends feature, which is especially helpful for confirming eradication after treatment.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is important for anyone experiencing persistent stomach pain, ulcers, chronic indigestion, or unexplained nausea. It's also recommended for people diagnosed with gastritis, those with a family history of stomach cancer, or anyone previously treated for H. Pylori who needs to confirm the bacteria has been eliminated. If you have ongoing digestive symptoms that haven't improved with standard treatments, this test can identify if H. Pylori is the cause.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common symptoms include burning stomach pain that comes and goes (especially when your stomach is empty), frequent indigestion or bloating, nausea, loss of appetite, or unexplained weight loss. You might also experience belching, feeling full quickly after eating small amounts, or dark-colored stools. If these symptoms persist for more than a few weeks or interfere with your daily life, testing for H. Pylori can help identify the cause.
How can I support digestive health while treating H. Pylori?
Avoid foods and drinks that irritate the stomach lining, like spicy foods, alcohol, caffeine, and acidic items such as citrus and tomatoes. Eat smaller, more frequent meals rather than large portions, and include probiotic-rich foods like yogurt to support gut health during treatment. Reduce stress through relaxation techniques, as stress can worsen stomach symptoms and slow healing. Don't smoke, as it interferes with the stomach's protective lining and healing process.
What is H. Pylori and why does it matter?
H. Pylori is a type of bacteria that can live in your stomach lining and cause inflammation, ulcers, and long-term damage. It's very common—about half of the world's population has it—but it only causes symptoms in some people. When left untreated, H. Pylori increases your risk of developing peptic ulcers and stomach cancer, which is why detection and treatment are important if you have persistent digestive symptoms.
What does a positive H. Pylori test mean?
A positive result means H. Pylori bacteria is currently present in your digestive system and is likely contributing to your symptoms. The good news is that H. Pylori infections are treatable with a course of antibiotics and acid-reducing medications prescribed by your doctor. Most people successfully clear the infection after treatment, which typically resolves ulcers and reduces stomach inflammation within a few weeks.
How often should I retest for H. Pylori?
If you test positive and receive treatment, you should retest at least 4 weeks after completing your antibiotics to confirm the bacteria has been eliminated. A positive result just 7 days after treatment indicates the therapy didn't work and you may need a different antibiotic combination. If your initial test is negative but symptoms persist, your doctor may recommend retesting in a few months or exploring other causes of your digestive issues.
