A member asked:

I have tested positive for igg h.pylori with a reading of 1.47. what does this mean and what should i do now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

H. pylori: The test means you have produced an immune reaction to h.Pylori. Whether you have it now is uncertain, as the test can remain positive for a long time. A stool antigen test for H. pylori may show if you currently have it. Treatment of H. pylori is by a so-called 'triple therapy.' in the absence of relevant symptoms, though, it may not be necessary to do. See your doctor for clarification.
