Do I need to fast?
Fasting is not strictly required for this package, but we recommend having your blood drawn in the morning for the most stable picture.
What does the Helicobacter pylori IgG test detect?
This measurement detects antibodies against H. pylori, a bacterium that can cause gastric and bowel problems. A positive result indicates a current or past infection.
What if the Helicobacter pylori result is positive?
Our doctor provides explanation and context with your result. The IgG test detects antibodies and therefore does not show whether the infection is still active.
What if I have had H. pylori treatment?
Antibodies can remain positive for years after successful treatment. To check whether the bacterium has been eradicated, a breath test or stool test is more reliable than the IgG measurement.
Is this package suitable for serious complaints?
For serious or acute complaints (such as severe abdominal pain, blood in the stool, or unexplained weight loss), we advise consulting your GP first.
What if I want more specific bowel tests?
For extensive bowel investigations (such as microbiome, parasites, or calprotectin), specialist tests exist that we do not yet offer.
What if my values are abnormal?
Our doctor provides explanation and context for your result. You can use the report for your own insight or bring it to your GP.
How quickly do I receive my results?
Typically within 2 working days of blood draw.
