Age for Breath testing
Posted: Wed Aug 19, 2015 3:15 am
My daughter is 11 years old and has had anxiety since she was a toddler. Last year she was vomiting intermittently and was complaining about stomach issues. We took her in to her doctor and when her blood work came back she had h. pylori antibodies. We had already been giving her prilosec at this time but we were informed we needed to give a stool sample, it came back negative. I was told that she could not do a breath test because of her age....why? Her symptoms are back along with tension headaches, teeth pain, weight loss, and depression. I feel bad cause she got better and I feel like I didn't follow through with this.
