Explanation

A "Clo test" is a medical procedure used to check if a person has an infection in their stomach. This infection is caused by a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori, which can lead to stomach ulcers and other digestive problems. The test is done by taking a small sample from the stomach during an endoscopy, a procedure where a thin tube is inserted down the throat. The sample is then checked in a lab to see if the bacteria is present.
