Helicobacter pylori is the bacterium that can cause inflammation of the stomach lining, and a stool test for H.pylori is a reliable way to detect a stomach ulcer. An elevated calprotectin value may indicate inflammation, and transferrin is a marker for bleeding occurring in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract.

The module STOMACH tests for the presence or absence in stool of:

• Helicobacter pylori
• Calprotectin
• Transferrin
