Are there any clinical labs that perform C14 UBTs near Dallas, Texas, USA?

Breath tests are the most accurate way of detecting H.pylori without actually having an endoscopy (stomach examination). Breath tests are especially useful after treatment to make sure H.pylori is cured. Urea breath tests are known to be completely harmless. Either C14-urea or C13-urea tests are used. Read about them at the diagnosis section at http://www.helico.com/diag_breath.html where a diagram can be found. C14-urea breath tests use a radioactive tracer but such a tiny amount that it can be used safely at any age. It is a 15 minute test, convenient and inexpensive. The C13-urea test uses a stable isotope of carbon which is also harmless but requires two breath samples and takes about 30 minutes. Both tests have accuracy greater than 90%.

Are you aware of any clinical labs that do the C14 urea breath test (UBT) around Dallas, Texas, USA?

I inquired with Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp, and Clinical Pathology Labs, and all three said they only offered the C13 UBT, which is apparently less accurate.

Thanks!

For a more specific search, you might want to check with local hospitals or nuclear medicine departments, as they might have the necessary facilities for the C14 UBT. Alternatively, consulting a gastroenterologist in the Dallas area could lead to recommendations for specialized labs that perform this test. Additionally, university medical centers and research institutions might offer the C14 UBT as part of their diagnostic services. Strands NYT

I can truly sympathize with your situation as you struggle to find a clinic that offers the test you need. This can be very stressful and frustrating. Personally,bitlife I feel that having an accurate test is very important in the treatment of your illness, and I hope you find a place to do the C14 UBT soon so that you can address your health concerns.

The C14 urea breath test (UBT) is a diagnostic tool used to detect Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections. While it's known for its accuracy, availability can vary by location. In the Dallas, Texas area, several facilities offer H. pylori breath testing, though they may primarily provide the C13 urea breath test.
