An at-home test to detect helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in a stool sample.
The presence of H. pylori in your stool indicates an active infection with H. pylori bacteria in your digestive system, which can cause stomach ulcers and inflammation.
Who is this test for?
People at higher risk of H. pylori infection include those who:
- Are living in crowded or less hygienic conditions.
- Consume improperly handled or contaminated food and water.
- Have been in close contact with someone infected with H. pylori.
- Are from regions where H. pylori is more prevalent.
- Are older (as the likelihood of infection increases with age).
- Have a family history of H. pylori infection.
