Frequently Asked Questions

1. How accurate is the Newfoundland Stomach Ulcer test?

The Newfoundland Stomach Ulcer test offers 97% accuracy and is CE certified for reliable home screening. This rapid chromatographic immunoassay specifically detects H. pylori antigens in stool specimens to aid in the detection of stomach ulcers. While highly accurate, any positive results should be discussed with your healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.

2. How quickly do I get results?

Results appear in just 5 minutes after applying your stool sample to the test device. The test provides clear visual indicators that are easy to read and interpret using the included instructions and the Newfoundland app guidance.

3. What is H. pylori and why is it important to test for it?

H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori) is a bacteria that infects the stomach and is the leading cause of stomach ulcers and gastritis. The presence of H. pylori in your stool indicates an active infection that can cause stomach inflammation, ulcers, and if left untreated, may increase the risk of more serious digestive conditions. Early detection allows for prompt antibiotic treatment.

4. Who should use this test?

This test is suitable for adults experiencing symptoms like persistent stomach pain, bloating, nausea, or heartburn that may indicate stomach ulcers. It's particularly important for people with a family history of stomach ulcers, those who have had ulcers before, or individuals at higher risk due to factors like regular use of pain medications (NSAIDs) or stress-related digestive issues.

Other Considerations

Diagnostic tests should always be interpreted in the context of other clinical information. A positive result should be reviewed alongside your symptoms and discussed with your GP for further guidance.

If your test result is negative but symptoms persist, it is important to consult your GP to explore other potential causes.

Self-testing alone does not replace professional medical evaluation. Test results should be considered alongside your medical history, and any diagnosis or treatment decisions should only be made in consultation with a doctor or qualified healthcare professional.
