Hello
I came down with the HP bug in Nov 2013 and it is a nasty beast with lingering symptoms to date. The doctor chose a stool test to determine if the bug was killed which was done 48 days after the triple treatment was complete (waiting results). Why would the doc choose a stool test rather than the breath test if both are available?

Re: recheck test
I'm not quite sure why your doctor chose the stool test. But it doesn't really matter as they are both accurate tests.

Re: recheck test
your doctor probably believe that stool test is not affected by PPI or antibiotics that you had been taking. I would recommend another breath test at least 4 weeks later to really confirm the eradication.
Re: recheck test
Thanks the test was negative. It has been 3 months since the HP infection and I still have nausea and a gnawing pain in the mid belly and was reffered to a GI specialists who scheduled gastroscope and colonoscopy. He thought the symptoms would work out.
