Hi and thank you for your response.
The stool test just said positive no raw value. I do have a raw value for the blood test, 0.7 with <0.9 being negative, 0.9-1.1 indeterminate, >1.1 positive. I repeated the blood test at 3 labs and the values were very close.
I did try to switch to ranitidine also, but could only do it for 5 days, it was not as good as the ppi and the pain was getting worse and worse. I did a stool test right at the 5th day and it was again negative. I havent tried a breath test though.
