What it measures
Tests for current Helicobacter pylori infection with a urea breath test or a stool antigen test. Listings differ in which method they use; the product name is shown under each seller. Blood antibody (serology) tests are not included.
Lab: Quest or Labcorp (varies by seller) · Specimen: Breath sample (urea breath test) or stool sample (antigen test), depending on the listing
Evidence level: Established
The 2024 American College of Gastroenterology guideline on H. pylori treatment states that everyone treated for H. pylori should have a test of cure using a urea breath test, fecal antigen test or biopsy-based test at least 4 weeks after finishing therapy, and describes breath and fecal antigen tests as highly accurate for confirming treatment success. Proton pump inhibitors and recent antibiotics can cause false-negative results. Blood antibody (serology) tests are a different test and are not covered by this rating.

What's included in the H. pylori test price?

Which states restrict ordering a H. pylori test?
Sellers in our table note these limits: True Health Labs: Quest self-order not available in NY, NJ, MA, RI. State rules for consumer-ordered lab tests vary and sellers may block some states at checkout, so confirm on the seller's page.
Can I use an HSA or FSA to pay?
The IRS counts "laboratory fees that are part of medical care" as medical expenses (IRS Publication 502), and defines medical care as the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease. Whether a particular at-home test qualifies depends on that and on your plan's rules, so check with your HSA or FSA administrator before paying.
Why do prices differ so much?
Sellers set their own prices for the same lab's kit and may bundle practitioner authorization, consultations, shipping or add-ons. The table shows the price and any separately listed fees as posted on each seller's public page on the date checked.
How current are these prices?
All prices were checked on Oct 20, 2026. Prices and availability (including state restrictions) change; confirm on the seller's page before ordering.
