H. pylori Stool Antigen

The most accurate non-endoscopic test for H. pylori and to confirm treatment worked.

H. pylori causes stomach inflammation and ulcers. The stool antigen test detects a current infection — unlike the blood test, which can stay positive after cure.

It is repeated at least 4 weeks after finishing treatment to confirm the bacteria are gone.

Preparation before the test

  • Stop acid medicines (omeprazole and similar) two weeks before.
  • Stop antibiotics four weeks before.
  • Use a clean lab container and bring the sample within two hours.
