I understood a breath test is more accurate.

Thank you for your reply. I was tested through the Mayo Clinic Jacksonville. Do you have experience with h pylori? Did you receive the breath test?

Yes, I wasn't confident that the antibiotics worked but the breath test I took a few months later was negative. The doctor had told me it was more accurate than other tests but maybe that was because of higher likelihood of false positives after treatment. I don't actually recall why the breath test was considered the best way to follow up but it seemed convincing.<br />
