“Do you frequently experience stomach discomfort, indigestion, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, or nausea? ”
These symptoms could be caused by a Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection.
Early H. pylori infection may not have noticeable symptoms, but acute H. pylori infection can lead to stomach pain and gastritis.
It is typically transmitted through contact with an infected person’s saliva, vomit, or feces, or by consuming contaminated food and beverages.

What is H. Pylori?
H. pylori is a type of bacteria that resides in the human stomach and duodenum, causing conditions like gastritis, stomach ulcers, and potentially stomach cancer if left untreated.

H. Pylori 13-C Urea Breath Test
H. Pylori 13-C Urea Breath Test
A non-invasive, safe, reliable, and rapid test detects the presence of H. pylori infection. During the test, the patient will first exhale into a breath collection bag, then drink a small amount of a carbon-13 urea solution. After 15-30 minutes, they will exhale into another bag. The two breath samples are then analyzed to determine if H. pylori is present.
A positive result indicates the presence of H. pylori in the stomach. If diagnosed with H. pylori infection, the patient will need to undergo treatment with a combination of acid-reducing medications and antibiotics.
