Clinical Overview

Clinical Summary: H. pylori is a bacteria that infects the stomach lining and is the leading cause of peptic ulcers and chronic gastritis. This stool antigen test is a non-invasive way to detect active infection.

What is the H. Pylori Test?

Unlike antibody tests which stay positive for years, the stool antigen test only detects **active** bacteria, making it the best tool to confirm you are currently infected or to verify that treatment worked.

Why get tested?

  • Persistent stomach pain, bloating, or frequent "heartburn."
  • To confirm the success of antibiotic treatment for ulcers.
  • If you have a family history of stomach cancer.
