Urea Breath Test

I just took the Urea Breath test today and was wondering if anyone else has had it done. I still have slight stomach cramps (which I always thought was due to food poisoning) but now I have it more often. I also have problems with acid reflux or heart burn and bad breath. Not sure if these are symptoms of H. Pyloria.

I just read about it because I'm having a biopsy done for an ulcer tomorrow. They know I have the ulcer because I had a capsule endoscopy and it showed. I'll paste some links below with information about it. Sometimes it's the cheapest way for them to test you (i.e. no hospitalization, surgery, or anesthesia). Hope this helps!

      Thank you for the advice. I’ve actually never checked for nutritional deficiencies, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve always taken vitamin and mineral supplements — otherwise my symptoms get worse. This week I stopped eating gluten to confirm whether my symptoms are really caused by it. Starting next week, I’ll reintroduce gluten — it’s sad to go back to how I was before — but at least I’ll be able to take the necessary tests properly. I think the diagnostic process will be long, but at least I’m happy that I finally decided to address this doubt I’ve had for years.

      Hey Julie! I was in a similar situation before my biopsy and my gastro said Tylenol was fine. Just avoid ibuprofen or anything anti-inflammatory until you're cleared. Hope your surgery goes smoothly!

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!
