Overview

The H. pylori Stool Antigen Test detects active Helicobacter pylori infection by identifying bacterial proteins shed into your digestive tract. Available as an at-home collection kit across Australia, it provides accurate diagnosis without requiring invasive procedures like endoscopy.

H. pylori infects approximately half the world's population, though many people carry it without symptoms. When symptoms develop—stomach pain, bloating, nausea, or ulcers—identifying and treating the infection prevents complications including chronic gastritis and increased stomach cancer risk.

This test suits Australians with digestive symptoms suggesting possible H. pylori infection, those needing to confirm successful eradication after treatment, and anyone with family history of stomach ulcers or cancer who wants screening.

Symptoms

Essential for people with stomach pain or ulcer symptoms, those confirming H. pylori treatment success, or anyone with family history of stomach cancer wanting screening.

Questions

  • The H. pylori stool antigen test has 95-98% accuracy for detecting active infection. It's one of the most reliable non-invasive tests available.
  • Stool antigen tests detect active infection. Blood antibody tests remain positive long after infection clears, making them unreliable for confirming treatment success.
  • Proton pump inhibitors, antibiotics, and bismuth compounds can cause false negative results. Stop these 2 weeks before testing if medically appropriate.
  • Wait at least 4 weeks after completing antibiotic treatment before retesting. Testing too early may produce false negative results.
  • Positive results indicate active H. pylori infection requiring antibiotic treatment. Your doctor will prescribe appropriate combination therapy.
  • Chronic H. pylori infection increases stomach cancer risk. This is why testing and treatment are important, even when symptoms seem mild.

How to prepare

Collect fresh stool sample using provided collection container and tools. Avoid antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors, and bismuth compounds for 2 weeks before testing as they can cause false negative results. Follow kit instructions for proper collection and shipping.

After the test

Positive results require antibiotic treatment typically involving triple or quadruple therapy with proton pump inhibitors and antibiotics. Follow-up testing 4-6 weeks after treatment completion confirms successful eradication. Address underlying risk factors and lifestyle modifications.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show positive or negative for H. pylori antigen presence. Positive results indicate active bacterial infection requiring antibiotic treatment. Negative results suggest absence of active infection, though clinical correlation with symptoms is important.

Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.
