H. Pylori (Helicobacter pylori) is a bacteria that can live in the stomach. It can cause ulcers and/or swelling of the stomach and esophagus. H. Pylori may cause your child to have nausea, vomiting, burping, stomach pain, and/or to lose weight. A H. Pylori breath test tests for this bacteria.
This test is short and pain free.
The lab will send your doctor a report with your child’s test results in about a week. After you leave our office, your child may have liquids, food, and medicines as normal.
Please call the doctor’s nurse at 214-456-8000 or the GI Lab at 214-456-7857 if you have questions.
Please tell us if your child is allergic to Phenylalanine.
Do not stop giving your child medicines until you talk to your child’s doctor to be sure it is OK.
