What are they used for?
H. pylori tests are used to:
* Find out if an H. pylori infection is the cause of digestive symptoms
* Find out if treatment has cured an H. pylori infection
Because there are many possible causes of digestive symptoms, providers often order tests for other digestive disorders along with an H. pylori test
You may need an H. pylori test if you have symptoms of gastritis or an ulcer. These conditions are often caused by H. pylori bacteria. The symptoms may include:
* Pain in your upper abdomen (belly)
* Bloating (a feeling of fullness or swelling in your belly)
* Feeling full too soon while eating a meal
* Nausea and vomiting
* Burping or belching
* Loss of appetite
* Weight loss
A breath test is also called a urea breath test. It generally includes these steps:
* First, you will breathe into a container to provide a sample of your breath.
* Next you will swallow a pill or liquid that contains urea. Urea is a normal waste product found in blood. The urea used for the test contains special carbon atoms. If you have H. pylori, the bacteria will change the urea into carbon dioxide that includes these carbon atoms. Your body will get rid of the carbon dioxide in the air you exhale (breathe out).
* A few minutes after swallowing the urea, you'll provide another sample of your breath.
* The two breath samples will be tested and compared to each other. If you have H. pylori bacteria in your stomach:
* The second breath sample will contain more carbon dioxide than the first.
