BreathID HP Two Test- Urea Breath Test kit for H. pylori (obtain from clinical lab)
Patient Preparation
This test requires fasting. Patient should have had nothing to eat or drink (to include water and chewing gum) for 1 hour before administering the BreathID HP Two Test.
Remind the patient that the Pranactin-citric drink that will be administered contains phenylalanine (one of the protein components of Aspartame). Phenylketonurics restrict dietary phenylalanine.

It is strongly recommended that the patient should not have taken proton pump inhibitors( e.g. Aciphex, Nexium, Prevacid, Prilosec, Protonix, Zegerid) or bismuth preparations (e.g. Pepto Bismol) within 2 weeks prior to administration.
Histamine 2-receptor antagonists (e.g. Axid, Pepcid, Tagamet, Zantac) may be discontinued for 24-48 hours before using BreathID HP Two Test.
Antacids do not appear to affect the accuracy of the test.
