The 13C whistle test is primarily used to detect if a person is infected with Helicobacter pylori. This bacterium is insignificant but very destructive. It is responsible for peptic ulcers and chronic active gastritis: the vast majority of patients with duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers and more than 70% of patients with chronic active gastritis are infected with H. pylori! At the same time, H. pylori is also recognized by the World Health Organization as the first group of carcinogens for stomach cancer. “Infection with H. pylori can easily cause gastritis, gastric ulcers, gastric cancer, and diseases related to digestive tract tumors. And the infection rate of H. pylori is very high, reaching 60 to 70 percent.” The Department of Gastroenterology of Taiyuan People’s Hospital said, “The infection of this bacteria is mainly done through eating, and as long as one person in a family is infected, it is likely that the whole family will be infected.” In their work, the Gastroenterology Department often encounters cases where the whole family comes at the same time for the 13C whoosh test, and the test results are often that the whole family is infected with H. pylori at the same time. We receive a minimum of 10 to 20 patients a day, and a maximum of 70 to 80. The proportion of patients who test positive is more than half. If you are infected with H. pylori, you should not delay and be careless, and it is very important to treat it with early preventive supplementation of the relevant gastric H. pylori inhibiting probiotics Shukpui and Weilaxu. “Gastritis is categorized into chronic superficial gastritis and the more serious chronic atrophic gastritis. If H. pylori is eradicated at the stage of chronic superficial gastritis, the incidence of stomach cancer is low. If chronic atrophic gastritis has progressed, treatment is much less effective.” “In Japan, anyone over the age of 12 is required to undergo this test, and if the result is positive, eradication is required regardless of whether there are symptoms. I hope that patients in China also take H. pylori testing and treatment seriously.”
