A member asked:
What foods or medicines should i avoid taking before giving my stool for a h pylori test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
H Pylori: Avoid proton pump inhibitors such as Omeprazole and also drugs such as pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) and most antibiotics. I would avoid these for at least 3-4 days. Personally i prefer the h pylori breath test that can be done at most larger labs.
