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?

H2 blockers can also affect test results, so make sure to inform your doctor about all the medications and supplements you’ve been taking.

H2 blocker is not as strong as PPI. You only need to stop H2 blocker one night before the test.
