What is an H. Pylori Breath Test?

An H. Pylori Breath Test is used to determine if you are infected with the helicobacter pylori bacterium. This simple breath test takes approximately 15 minutes. First, you will be asked to blow a breath of air into a small collection bag. Next, you will drink an 8-ounce citrus flavored solution. After 15 minutes you will blow a breath of air into a second collection bag.

You will be able to resume your normal activities and diet after the test.

The results of the test will be mailed to you within 5-7 business days.
