[QUOTE="sammmy, post: 265436, member: 38594"] For H. Pylori, keep in mind that the usual breath test that they do at Dr's office is not very sensitive. I had one negative breath test when I had full blown symptoms, then I detected it with a PCR stool test GI-MAP, and then confirmed with a stool antigen test. Your best shot at detecting it with a test covered by the insurance is with the stool antigen test. About 50% of the population is infected with H. Pylori but in many it doesn't cause any symptoms until later in life when immunity dwindles and the infection gets out of control. The GI-MAP stool test is typically not covered by the insurance and costs $350 out of pocket but can detect a whole slew of digestive problems: bacterial infections (it even tests for antibiotic resistance if H. Pylori is present), parasite/amoeba infections, worms, digestive enzymes, occult blood (screening for colon cancer) etc. In my case, it found H. Pylori (with its resistance profile), C. Difficile and deficient pancreatic enzymes (I currently need to take prescription for it) so it saved my life 3 times. [/QUOTE]
