[QUOTE="sammmy, post: 266510, member: 38594"] Even if you have H. Pylori in your stomach, the biopsy does not test the whole stomach area but only a few spots from which they take a biopsy, so it may miss H. Pylori infection. My H. Pylori was not detected on endoscopy in 2019 but I had signs of a mild gastritis and the most common cause of gastritis is H. Pylori. My H. Pylori gave a false negative breath test, then a positive GI-MAP stool test, later confirmed with a positive stool antigen test. The H. Pylori stool antigen is specific and looks only for H. Pylori - this test should be covered by your health insurance. The insurance will not cover GI-MAP and it is around $350 out of pocket. It is a very sensitive PCR (DNA) stool test for many digestive infections and problems - hence it is called "MAP". It includes an H. Pylori panel and if they find it present, it will test it genetically for antibiotic resistance. I have not found a way to request only the H. Pylori panel part of it. Here is an example report from GI-MAP: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.diagnosticsolutionslab.com/sites/default/files/GI-MAP-Sample-Report.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
