A member asked:
Can i re-take pylo kit for 2nd week? after taking it for one week and still h-pylori bacteria test positive!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't retake it…: unless your doctor recommends it again. Very often, depending on which kind of test you are taking for H. Pylori, the test results can remain positive even if the bacteria has been eradicated by the course of antibiotics which you are taking. You should consult with your doctor to determine if you need a repeat H. Pylori test at all, and if so, what kind to take. Good luck.
