The Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) Stool Test is a reliable and non-invasive at-home stool test designed to detect active H. pylori infection in the gastrointestinal tract. As one of the most effective ways to confirm whether H. pylori is present, this test provides clear and actionable insight into a major cause of gastritis, reflux, indigestion, stomach ulcers and long-standing digestive discomfort. It is also a highly useful follow-up after completing treatment or a GI-MAP protocol to ensure successful eradication and restored gut function.
H. pylori is a common bacterium that can disrupt stomach acid levels, damage the gastric lining, and contribute to nutrient deficiencies, chronic inflammation, and increased disease risk if left untreated. Identifying an active infection allows you to take targeted steps, whether medical or natural, to eliminate the bacteria, support mucosal healing, rebalance stomach acid and restore healthy digestion.
What the test measures:
-
H. pylori antigen detection – Presence of active infection
-
Bacterial load
-
Virulence markers or strain pathogenicity – Indicators relevant to gastric inflammation and ulcer potential
