When do i need to stop probiotics before taking the helicobacter pylori breath test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No need to stop: If there is Helicobacter pylori in your stomach the breath test will be positive and probiotics will have no effect on the result. According to this article there is no need to stop any medicines prior to the breath test: http://www.medicinenet.com/urea_breath_test/article.htm
