More about this test

Our Ulcer (H. Pylori) is a non-invasive self-test for detecting H. Pylori (Helicobacter pylori), an infection of the stomach and duodenum (first part of the small intestines). H. Pylori is associated with several gastrointestinal diseases and usually passes unknowingly from person to person or through contaminated food or water.  See about H. Pylori below for information.

 

It is recommend to use the test following repeated stomach and intestinal troubles. However, most people won’t realise they are infected with H. Pylori. Regular screening can form an important part of routine health checks. Get the information you need to help make informed decisions when seeking medical advice.

 

Speak with a doctor following a positive result or if you have any concerns about your stomach or intestines.

When both the test (T) line and control (C) line appear, it means there is H. Pylori antigen is present in the sample. A control (C) line on its own means no H. Pylori antigen is present in that particular sample. Always read the instructions before use. Consult a doctor if you get a positive result or you have concerns about your stomach or intestines. Seek immediate medical advice if you have severe or ongoing stomach (abdominal) pain strong enough to wake you at night or bloody or black poo or vomit.

H. pylori usually passes from person to person through direct contact with saliva, vomit or stool. It may also be spread through contaminated food or water. If left untreated the H. Pylori-associated conditions may worsen and start to cause health problems. Screen for peace of mind and as part of a health regular routine.

The test can be used at any time of the day and performed following repeated stomach and intestinal troubles.

The test kit comes with a stool catcher that sticks to the toilet seat. After going to the toilet the stool sits in the catcher ready for you to take a sample without getting your hands dirty.
