H. pylori testing includes several tests such as blood tests to detect antibodies against the bacteria, breath tests, stool tests, and sometimes a stomach biopsy during endoscopy. These tests aim to detect bacterial infection and monitor the effectiveness of antibacterial treatment.
The UBT (Urea Breath Test) is a non-invasive test used to diagnose Helicobacter pylori infection, the bacteria responsible for stomach and duodenal ulcers and sometimes chronic gastritis.
The H. pylori breath test, also known as the “UBT test,” is a common and important test for detecting infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), which is one of the main causes of stomach ulcers and inflammation of its lining, and can sometimes lead to serious complications if not treated properly.
H. pylori is a type of spiral-shaped bacteria that lives in the lining of the stomach. It can be transmitted through contaminated food or water, or through direct contact with an infected person’s saliva. It is common in the Arab world, affecting a large percentage of people without obvious symptoms.
Testing is essential if you suffer from:
Yes, H. pylori can be treated using specific antibiotics along with medications that reduce stomach acidity. It is always important to follow up with a specialist doctor and complete the full course of treatment.
Avoid antibiotics and stomach medications (such as acid suppressants) several days before the test, as per your doctor’s instructions.
Refrain from eating and drinking for a short period before the test.
