cerascreen Helicobacter Pylori Test - Discover possible causes of stomach problems

The cerascreen Helicobacter pylori test offers the opportunity to discreetly find out from home whether you are infected with the widespread bacterium Helicobacter pylori. This bacterium is commonly found in the human stomach. Although approximately half the world's population is infected, it often goes unnoticed because the infection is usually asymptomatic. However, it can trigger serious stomach problems such as stomach ulcers and chronic gastritis. Typical symptoms can include loss of appetite, nausea, bloating, and upper abdominal pain.

Who should consider taking the test?

This test is particularly suitable for people with gastrointestinal complaints where other causes such as food poisoning or food intolerances have already been ruled out.

Application of the test set

The Helicobacter pylori test is easy to use: Simply collect a small stool sample using the enclosed stool collection aid and spoon. Place the sample in the test tube and send it to a specialized medical laboratory for analysis. The stool sample is tested for antigens of the Helicobacter pylori bacterium. The results are available within a few business days in the cerascreen online customer area.
