Stomach Ulcer Rapid

What Does This Test Check?

The Stomach Ulcer rapid test detects Helicobacter pylori, the bacteria that are a leading cause of stomach ulcers and indigestion. It is an at-home test that looks for an H. pylori infection in your stomach lining.

MyHealthChecked provides this H. pylori rapid test for just 10 pounds, with results in about 10 minutes. This makes it the quickest and cheapest way on the site to screen for H. pylori from home.

A positive result may indicate an active H. pylori infection, which is usually cured with a course of antibiotics, while a negative result reduces the chance that bacteria are driving your symptoms. A rapid test is a useful first screen but not a substitute for a proper diagnosis. Take the result to your GP, especially if you have persistent stomach pain or bleeding.
