To Athna - RE: diagnostic test for helicobacter pylori

[Guest guest]

Hello Athena,

I'm not familiar with this diagnostic test, but I found the

following information. I would advise you to check with a reputable

orthomolecular or natureopathic/holistic physician for a second

opinion on both how to properly diagnose your condition, and if it's

found that you have a proliferation of helicobater pylori, ask about

options for best remedies. After careful review of all opinions,

you'll be in a better position to determine what will be right for

you.

Best regards,

The Avenging Angel

PS... big hugs for your success in becoming free of the psychotropic

toxins!

Urea C 14 (Diagnostic)

The Following Information Provided by Thomson MICROMEDEX

Overview | Precautions & Side Effects

BRAND NAMES:

In the U.S.

• PYtest

Description

Urea C 14 is a radiopharmaceutical (ray-dee-oh-far-ma-SOO-ti-kal ) .

It is used to diagnose stomach ulcers caused by a certain kind of

bacteria known as Helicobacter pylori or H. pylori.

This agent is taken by mouth. If any H. pylori bacteria are present

in the stomach, they will cause the urea C 14 to be broken down into

radioactive carbon dioxide gas. When you breathe out by the mouth,

the amount of radioactive carbon dioxide can be measured to see

whether the bacteria are in your stomach.

This agent is a radioactive agent. However, with the small amounts

in the capsule that is used for the test, the radiation your body

receives is very low and is considered safe.

This agent is to be given only by or under the direct supervision of

a doctor with specialized training in nuclear medicine. It is

available in the following dosage form:

Oral

• Capsules (U.S.)

Before Having This Test

In deciding to use a diagnostic test, any risks of the test must be

weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your

doctor will make. Also, test results may be affected by other

things. For this radiopharmaceutical, the following should be

considered:

Allergies - Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or

allergic reaction to urea C 14. Also tell your health care

professional if you are allergic to any other substances, such as

foods, preservatives, or dyes.

Pregnancy - Radiopharmaceuticals usually are not recommended for use

during pregnancy. This is to avoid exposing the fetus to radiation.

Some radiopharmaceuticals may be used for diagnostic tests in

pregnant women, but it is necessary to inform your doctor if you are

pregnant. Be sure you have discussed this with your doctor.

Breast-feeding - Some radiopharmaceuticals pass into the breast milk

and may expose the baby to radiation. It is not known whether urea C

14 passes into breast milk. If you must receive a

radiopharmaceutical, it may be necessary for you to stop breast-

feeding for some time after receiving it. Be sure you have discussed

this with your doctor.

Children - The amount of radiation in this agent is very low and

considered safe for children. However, be sure you have discussed

with your doctor the benefit versus the risk of exposing your child

to radiation.

Other medicines - Although certain medicines should not be used

together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used

together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your

doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be

necessary. When you are taking this radiopharmaceutical, it is

especially important that your health care professional know if you

are taking any of the following medications:

• Antibiotics or

• Medicines containing bismuth (e.g., Helidac Therapy, Pepto-

Bismol)May interfere with the results of the test; these medicines

should not be taken within 4 weeks before the test

• Lansoprazole (e.g., Prevacid) or

• Omeprazole (e.g., Prilosec) or

• Sucralfate (e.g., Carafate)May interfere with the results;

these medicines should not be taken within 2 weeks before the test

Other medical problems - The presence of other medical problems may

affect the use of this radiopharmaceutical. Make sure you tell your

doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:

• Stomach surgeryThe lack of acid in the stomach may interfere

with the results of this test

Precautions After Having This Test

There are usually no special precautions to observe for

radiopharmaceuticals when they are used in small amounts for

diagnosis.

Side Effects of This Medicine

Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted

effects. This agent does not usually cause any side effects.

However, if you notice any unusual effects, check with your doctor.
