Without probe
The test catches the current infection (as opposed to blood antibodies that “remember” the past) - the right choice before and after treatment. Conditions: 2 weeks without PPIs (omeprazole blurs the result), 4 weeks after antibiotics. Successful eradication reduces the risks of ulcers and stomach cancer - control is mandatory, and this test makes it comfortable.
When is it appointed?
- abdominal pain, stool disorders - basic coprogram;
- colon cancer screening - occult blood (45+);
- diarrhea - cultures, calprotectin, parasites;
- dyspepsia - non-invasive Helicobacter test;
- control after treatment of helminth infections and intestinal infections.
Non-invasive bowel exploration
Feces talks about the gastrointestinal tract without probes: a coprogram evaluates digestion, occult blood screens for polyps and cancer, calprotectin separates inflammatory bowel diseases from IBS (saving some patients from colonoscopy, and justifying it urgently for others), Helicobacter antigen replaces gastroscopy in the control of eradication, cultures decipher infections and dysbiosis. Correct collection is a prerequisite for reliability.
