The world’s first non-invasive test for reflux disease
“People with reflux symptoms are suffering every single day and night. There is the constant sensation of something in the back of the throat together with the persistent irritant clearing of the throat. So much so that they say you can tell who sitting in the waiting area has got a reflux problem, because you can hear them coughing.”
“Peptest is fantastic to use because its simplicity means I do not have to refer my patient to secondary care.”
“Secondary care would incur the money and expense of their referral, added to the expense of the endoscope procedure, whereas Peptest is a fraction of this cost.”
Instead my patient sees me with a simple questionnaire, after which I can then give them a kit that they can take home and do in their own time.”
“Using Peptest is so simple, you just can not compare.” “This first Peptest can then be followed up with a second test, whether it is three months down the line, six months or an annual check up.“
Dr Gabriel Hendow Bransholme Health Centre, Hull, UK
How Peptest is used...
Peptest is the first non-invasive test that diagnoses reflux related conditions. It is an innovative test that quickly and easily identifies patients who reflux gastric juice and therefore pepsin that is found in the stomach.
Gastric reflux is a common condition that everyone experiences in small amounts, however, in excess gastric reflux can contribute to a wide range of conditions.
Dr Gabriel Hendrow, a GP at Bransholme Health Centre and an ENT specialist, uses Peptest to test for reflux and other associated conditions.
“Peptest gives not just a positive or a negative result, but can also give levels; figures and numbers so a doctor can treat the patient and repeat the test again at a later date, to see if that figure drops down.”
“If we do not make the correct diagnosis then that patient could continue to suffer, not just symptom wise but with actual damage within the lower respiratory or upper respiratory area.”“We know from experience that we cannot afford to not treat the symptoms because it can turn into something malignant and cancerous.”
“For these reasons we need to treat as soon as possible to alleviate symptoms, make the patient feel better and put a smile on their face. But we also need to treat to prevent something nasty happening in the future should we not treat.”
“I would definitely recommend it to other GPs because I believe it is a primary care product.”
“It will sit on the side of my desk because it is something simple, something cheap. GPs will welcome it because they can give it to the patient and say: ‘Take this, do it at home. I will get the results in a few days time’.”
“It is a diagnostic tool that they have in their hand, and that is the beauty of it.”
