About the Test
This test detects Helicobacter pylori proteins (antigens) shed directly in your stool, making it one of the most reliable ways to confirm an active stomach infection. Because it identifies the bacteria themselves rather than antibodies, it reflects current infection and is also used to check whether treatment has cleared the bacteria. Doctors often order it for ongoing gastritis, ulcers or stubborn indigestion, and as a follow-up after a course of antibiotics.
What is it? A stool test that detects Helicobacter pylori antigen, commonly abbreviated HpSA or simply the H. pylori stool test.

How to prepare for the Helicobacter Pylori Stool Antigen test
No fasting is required. For accurate results, avoid antibiotics and bismuth or proton-pump acid-reducing medicines for the period your doctor advises before collection, as these can cause a falsely negative result. We provide a clean stool collection container.
Understanding your Helicobacter Pylori Stool Antigen results
A positive result indicates active H. pylori infection, while a negative result suggests the bacteria are absent or successfully treated; always review the finding with your doctor, especially if you are checking for cure after antibiotics.
