H. Pylori Test in Mandi Bahauddin
Stool antigen is the most accurate non-invasive test for the bacteria behind most stomach ulcers.
Why this test is done
Long-standing burning in the upper abdomen, bloating after meals and repeated antacid use often come down to Helicobacter pylori. Because it is a bacterium, it can be eradicated with a two-week course of treatment — but only if it is confirmed first. Stool antigen testing is far more reliable than the old blood antibody test, which can stay positive for years after the infection has gone.
What is included
- H. pylori stool antigen
- H. pylori IgG antibody (blood)
- Post-treatment confirmation testing after 4 weeks

Frequently asked questions
Which H. pylori test should I choose?
Stool antigen. It reflects active infection and is the test used to confirm cure after treatment. Blood antibody testing cannot tell a current infection from an old one.
Do I need to stop my medicines before the test?
Yes — stop proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole, esomeprazole) for two weeks and antibiotics for four weeks, otherwise the test can be falsely negative.
