Hello Doctor. I have been diagnosed with h Pylori infection by endoscopy. Took the hp kit and completed the 14 days treatment two month before. Now planning to do Stool test for hpylori antigen to conform eradication. Recently  I took sompraz L for 10 days. Do I need to give any time gap before i take test (will ppi will impact the test)? Or I can take the test immediately? please suggest.
