Why is this test important to me?
It is estimated that over half the world's population is infected by the stomach bacterium Helicobacter pylori. \"H.pylori\" causes conditions such as gastritis and ulcers. Untreated long term infections cause damage to the mucous membrane of the stomach and those infected with this bacterium have an increased risk of ulcers and developing stomach cancer. However, in most cases, h.pylori can be treated successfully using a combination of antibiotics and antacids.
NOTE: If you have already been infected with H.pylori in the past and the infection was eliminated using antibiotics, this test may yield a positive reading even more than one year following treatment, although the infection is no longer present.

Eventually I pricked the well, as it appeared to be sealed, with blood sample and diluent just sitting in it without any lateral flow action. - It made me wonder if it had been designed this way in the hope the customer might buy a second test, thus doubling the profit. Maybe I am just a cynic.","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"4.0","bestRating":5}},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"J***."},"reviewBody":"Happy","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0","bestRating":5}},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"M***E"},"reviewBody":"Excellent","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0","bestRating":5}},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"T***T"},"reviewBody":"According to this test I don’t have an ulcer.
