Has anyone had h. pylori blood test?

Question

in the uk only please

how long did the results take to come back from when u gave the blood?

thanks in advance

Answer 1

Results are done the same day.  But, if you get your blood drawn at a clinic, they usually call you a day or two later and tell you the results.

Answer 2

Did you know that a negative blood test does not mean that you don't have it. The gold standard for testing for HP is the endoscopy/biopsy of the stomach- even then they could miss it. I hope they get to the root cause of what is going on, so that you can heal.
