A member asked:
What are the chances of a false negative of h. pylori after ceasing prilosec for 2 weeks ? the test doctor wants is stool antigen
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fairly high: I presume the breath test was negative. Only 2 weeks out from taking Prilosec there is a fairly high chance for a false negative. I agree with your doctor.
