I asked on my other post but I really need an answer so I’m hoping someone with knowledge will see this.

Does deglycyrrhizinated licorice root effect a stool h pylori test? I was taking an h2 blocker but had break through acid some days so I took the chewables to soothe.

Now I am fearful it is anti microbial and I have to wait another 2 weeks.

Anyone !?!?

deglycyrrhizinated licorice root may affect the stool test. But stopping it a day or two should be good enough before the test.

Can you get the laboratory to provide you a raw data? how negative is your negative result?
