Can someone give me some info on H. pylori, symptoms, treatment? I was diagnosed and treated with a course of 10 days of antibiotic treatment, no less than a week later, the symptoms return. I have moderate to severe episode of nausea in the pit of my stomach and sometimes the pain is unbearable. I'm belching lots of gas, my stomach tends to become bloated from time to time and I lost about 7 pounds in the September 7 months. I think I was misdiagnosed, my first visit gave me PEPCID and prilosec GERD that I am still taking. If my doctor recheck to see if the presence of H. pylori resolved. Please advise.
I'm sorry if you feel bad. You talk like a classic case of H. pylori. These poor people have all the symptoms and the symptoms of ulcer / complaints. The patients I have had contact with have had to take antibiotics for more than three weeks, usually 3 to 5 weeks. They are also given one of the drugs proton pump (Prilosec / Prevacid / Protonix / Nexium or Aciphex) to take with antibiotics.
I would call your doctor again and tell him how you feel and ask other treatments, and good luck, I hope you feel better.
