Hello Helico Expert and The Helico Team,
I hope you are all safe amid this pandemic.
I visited the website after a couple of months and saw this guideline on the home page, "It is very important that prior to any breath testing (except serology, i.e. the H.pylori antibody blood test) for H. pylori, you have not taken any antibiotics or Pepto Bismol /De-Nol for one month, Losec Nexium & other similar Proton Pump Inhibitors for one week, or Pepsid, Zantac, Axid, or Tagamet & other such H2 receptor antagonists for 24 hours before the breath tests are done."
I am planning to go for the test again and needed your advice, I wanted to find out if taking an oral suspension will affect the test results for UBT or Stool Antigen, The oral suspension has the following composition:
Aluminium hydroxide 215mg
Magnesium hydroxide 80mg
Simethicone (Activated Methylpolysiloxane) 25mg.
As always thank you and everything your are doing to help people is highly appreciated.
Stay Blessed
