– yes a urea breath test is reliable. If the overgrowth is in high numbers,  the Matula tea often needs more than 30 days and in combination with other therapies mentioned here. They do offer a guarantee but they request PCR based tests like the one by Diagnostic Solutions. If you show them the before and after, and it’s still positive, they will refund or ship a new 30-day kit.

But since H Pylori is still present, discontinuing Betaine HCL is a good idea as it can cause the bacteria to burrow even further.

My clients with H Pylori overgrowth usually do well with the combination of Broccoli sprouts & combo formula of Mastic Gum/zinc carnosine such as GastroMend HP and Jarrow broccoli sprouts.
