What can be found by blowing to check stomach problems

Urea breath test is a non-invasive test that allows the patient to take urea containing carbon 13 or carbon 14, which enters the stomach through the esophagus. If Helicobacter pylori is present in the stomach, urease is secreted, which catalyzes carbon 13 and carbon 14 labeled urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide, which are expelled through the respiratory tract, making the urea breath test positive. Urea breath test is one of the effective methods to detect Helicobacter pylori infection.

If the patient has Helicobacter pylori infection, clarithromycin dispersible tablets, metronidazole tablets, levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules and other drugs can be used to promote recovery.
