Directlabs.com: order H. Pylori Stool Antigen for $159. Get it done at a locally contracted lab (usually a Quest). the stool antigen test is better and cheaper than breath test. If you want to wait on the test, try modifying your diet. Avoid tobacco/alcohol/caffeine/spicy/greasy/garlic/onion/mint/pepper/citrus/tomatoes. Eat small regular meals. PPI like nexium (esomeprazole) can interfere with test so maybe hold off.
