Helicobacter Pylori Breath Test
H. pylori is the most common infection globally
This non-invasive breath test measures markers relevant to Helicobacter pylori, a common bacterium that can live in the stomach. You provide breath samples before and after a test drink, and the lab looks for the signature of the bacterium. A result is not a diagnosis on its own — discuss it with your GP, who can advise whether treatment or further testing is appropriate for you.
What's included
Unlike a blood test, a breath test can tell you if you currently have h.pylori bacteria in your stomach and thus have an active infection.
Test instructions
Avoid taking antacids, antibiotics or bismuth treatments for 14 days prior to collection. Refrain from eating or drinking 4-6 hrs before the test.
