Test Result
Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2018 11:02 am
Hi all,
On July 13th I had my breath test for h. pylori and today I finally received my result. I am h. pylori negative! I was a little skeptical at first, but I am so grateful for the result. I started having relapse-type symptoms post treatment which led me to believe my treatment failed, but those symptoms have lessened over time. I feel almost ‘normal’ most days! I completed my triple therapy on May 20 and had not taken any bismuth or PPIs since, so I think I allowed enough time before testing to receive an accurate result. There were no markers listed on my report, just 2 ‘negatives’ from the 2 labs that checked my test.
