Water ok 2hrs before H pylori Endoscopy?

Is it okay to take water 2hrs before my Hpylori endoscopy? I had taken water 2hrs before the test and nothing else. The result was H pylori negative. Can water interfere with the results or is it safe just as in the case of general endoscopy?

You should be nil by mouth for atleast 6 to 8 hours before endoscopy. Test results may vary.
