Stomach Ulcer Test Helicobacter H Pylori - Faecal Kit - One Step (2 Tests)

I have been suffering from gastritis off and on for several months. Desperate for answers I decided to take this test. I read the instructions before and made sure I understood them, I didn’t want to have to decipher them under pressure. Included in the test pack is a strip of paper that you can stick to either side of the toilet bowl to catch the stool for testing. I took one look at it and thought, Never! My aim concerned me as well as the weightiness of my stool. And so I devised an adaptation whereby I placed cling-film over the toilet bowl, then the strip of paper, with toilet seat down I was ready. When the time came I quickly realised my mistake. I had overlooked the fact that one cannot poop and not pee. I tried. I found myself in an emotional state of stopping and starting, but it really is impossible. Oh dear, I thought, it’s all going to roll off the sides of the cling-film and on to the floor. Luckily, as stated before, my stools are on the weighty side, which caused a makeshift cup into which everything pooled. Incidentally, another flaw to my cling-film plan is that all you want to do once the deed is done, is clean yourself with loo paper. Where does one put the dirty toilet paper when the toilet bowl is sealed shut with cling-film? – it was at this stage I realised I hadn’t thought this through enough. When I rose and looked at the abomination balanced precariously on my toilet, I was shocked to see the supplied paper for catching the stool had disintegrated. And so I felt somewhat justified in my choice to use cling, even if the execution of my plan was somewhat ill-considered. I reached for some nail scissors and pierced holes in the cling, allowing the liquid to escape, leaving the much-needed chunks. The test itself was easy to understand. Unscrew the blue probe and stab the stool in three different places. I must say, I was rather impressed with myself at this point for producing such a soft and, dare I say, luxurious poop. Whatever else is not working in my tummy, at least I can say that part is good. The probe goes into the liquid, you give it a good shake, then leave for two minutes. It’s easy to lose track here because there’s so much cleaning up to do (where to put the cling-film!?!?) and so I would recommend using a timer because the instructions state two minutes, no more, no less. After that, and after shouting to my husband, ‘No! I’m fine! Don’t come in!’, two drops of the liquid are then placed on the tray, and one must wait a further ten minutes. Again, no more and no less. It was clear to me after ten minutes that I didn’t have any H. pylori in my stool, which is bittersweet, because sadly for me and my tummy troubles, it’s back to the drawing board.

Gives a test result really fast, but use as many drops as you can. Ease of use, not so great. Now before I start, let me tell you I'm not great with excrement. This thing comes with a poo collector, but I loaded that thing up so heavy it just broke and fell into the bowl. Nevertheless there was plenty sticking up out the water for me to sample. By this point I can hardlly look at it, it's revolting. By the time I stick my hand in the bowl, I'm dry heaving. Tears streaming down my face, I can hardly see. I manage to get some into the pen thing without getting any on my fingers. I'm straight gagging. I can't see. Then you have to shake it up and break the tip off. Well, I broke off the tip and a whole streak of poo water went up the wall. My God. I had to stop and dry heave again. I managed to get the rest of the poo water into the test thing. Then I cleared everything up and triple-bagged it, washed my hands and had a lie down. The test came back negative. Thank you Jesus.

Easy to follow instructions. Very reasonably priced (some other lab kits are £50+). However I am not so sure on its accuracy. On other more sophisticated stool testing kits it clearly states that you shouldn’t be on PPI medication as this can interfere with the test. However on this test kit there is no mention of this ?

My husband was feeling under the weather with a persistent stomach ache, GP issued pills several times, but they were not working well. Therefore, we decided to give this test a try. It was super easy to use and the results were clear. It turned out he did have H. pylori! It was a bit of a shock, but it was good to know so he could tell the GP and start treatment. If you're experiencing persistent stomach issues, I'd recommend giving this test a shot. It might just save your time to figure out what happened to your stomach!

I tested positive and treated h. Pylori. I used this test to make sure I was clean and the test gave me the correct information. I had the opportunity to be tested again by the doctor and I was full recovered.

I bought this test in Ocotber 2020 and used it because due to the coronavirus pandemic, I could not get a breath test for H. Pylori at my GP. I took this test and it came out NEGATIVE. Over the following months I had further consultations with GPs who kept saying one cannot always necessarily trust the accuracy of any stool test purchased off of Amazon or anywhere else on the Internet, as you don't know how accurate it is. I continued to take my antacids over the proceeding months but I started suffering worse symptoms of gastritis as time passed on, which can be caused by H. Pylori. I eventually got a stool test done at the request of my GP at the end of August 2021 and guess what? H. Pylori WAS detected. I am now receiving antibiotics + antacids to treat the bacterial infection. Lesson to be learnt: Do NOT buy this stool test kit as it gives FALSE negatives, I strongly urge you if your symptoms are worsening please see your GP for a reliable and highly accurate stool test as you do not want to suffer months with H. Pylori naively thinking you don't have it by believing the false negative this test kit gives!

Great test kit. It’s a bit disgusting to do, but beats waiting for the NHS to offer you any help. Stool tests are the gold standard for H-Pylori and these are quick and accurate. I then treated the HP naturally with kefir, NAC (a good biofilm disruptor), oil of oregano, broccoli sprouts and mastic gum. Mastic gum really helped. Been symptom free for 6 months now and feeling SO much better than I was. Much better than harsh antibiotics and PPIs.

Good

ok

Uso facile. Risultato negativo. Unico dubbio SARÀ ATTENDIBILE?

Spedizione con Prime sempre puntuale. Il test funziona bene, tutto come descritto. Ho fatto il test rapido perché c'era un sospetto di "Helicobacter Pylori", il test è risultato positivo e confermato con il test fatto in laboratorio dopo con un prelievo venoso. Test facile da usare basta eseguire le istruzioni, lo consiglio a chi come me vuole sapere subito se è affetto da questo battere, comunque per farsi prescrivere la terapia dal medico bisogna fare il test con un prelievo venoso con una attesa dei risultati di circa 5 giorni per vedere la quantità dei batteri.

Prodotto un po' "cinesato" ma l esito negativo è stato confermato dal laboratorio quindi mi sento comunque di consigliarlo. Funziona come il test da covid solo che al posto delle secrezioni nasali c'è bisogno delle feci.

Forse sono stata sfortunata io ma anche avendo eseguito tutto come scritto e illustrato, diciamo in modo abbastanza semplice, il risultato non è chiaro e non si e nemmeno completato fino alla fine. Potrebbe essere positivo come negativo quindi non ho avuto nessuna risposta. Ho solo sprecato dei soldi che potevo aggiungere ad altri per andare a fare le analisi direttamente in un ambulatorio. Il bello è che in questo caso non si può nemmeno avere in rimborso perche che reso fai.. li mando indietro il test già usato o cosa. Reputo sbagliato dover pagare dei soldi per dei test difettosi e non avere nemmeno la possibilità di dimostrarlo o essere rimborsati. Beh, ho visto molte recensioni positive che mi hanno convinta all'acquisto ma io faccio parte di quelle negative, una stella solo per la consegna....
