Can You Suggest A Place That Does The 13/14C Urea Breath Test For H Pylori Or A Stool Test?

Can you please tell me a place that does the 13/14C Urea Breath test for H Pylori; or at least a stool test. I just called Fortis hospitals and they do not perform it. I also checked your forum post ( WWW.WWWW.WW and the listed place N N Gastroenterology Centre does not perform this test. Thank you.

it is not a commonly performed test
the usually available test is
rapid urease test
which happens to be equally effective

having said that
i dont think in the current settings
treating h pylori is very significant
considering that h pylori may recur
even after full treatment

best of luck
