Helicobacter Forums

Hello House,

I did H pylori eradication early this year and I felt relieved till August this year. I just did blood test and Stool antigen test and it both came out negative . Is still antigen test effective or can it give false negative. The reason why I am asking this is because I am still feeling dyspepsia.
Could the h pylori still be present.

Thanks.

If blood test is negative, then you are almost certain that you are free of H. pylori.

Some people can experience small episodes of gastric symptoms after H. pylori eradicated. Try to eat healthy and avoid thinking too much about it. Usually the more you think about it, the more symptoms you will feel.
