Hello,

I have had three stool test that came back negative. The test were spaced out over three to four months. I still have some pains when I try to expand my diet hence I continue to test. Is it possible to still have the bacteria and the test are false negative?

Thank you for your response.

no test is 100%.
But 3 consecutive negatives from stool test is most probably true.
Some patients need longer time to recover. So since you are free of H. pylori now, you can focus on the recovery. Try eat healthy, do more exercise, and think positive.

you may want to try some natural remedy and see if that helps.
