Avatar m tn eat a very bland diet, high in fresh non-citrus fruits, that is easy on stomach also. i pray the prevpac clears up the h pylori and you are on the road to recovery soon!
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, My mom was recently diagnosed with Hep C associated cirrhosis. She has had some complications, including esophageal varices and ascites. She remains fairly well compensated and does not exhibit symptoms such as fatigue or confusion. During an endoscopy her doctor also noticed an ulcer and tested her for H pylori (which was positive). He's prescribed Prevpac to kill the bacteria and heal the ulcer.
Avatar n tn I was recently dx with H pylori. Along with the H pylori I have this weird body odor which smells slightly of ammonia and somewhat meaty? I have this weird taste in my mouth as well. I was taking a prevpac for 14 days and I thought that would take care of the weird body odor as well as kill off the pylori bugs. My stomach feels better but I still smell weird? I also have bright red blood in my stool with each stool. At this point I have no idea what's going on.

Avatar n tn it is h pylori...a little "bug" that burrows its way into the lining of your stomach making you sick..did they give you antibiotics for it? i was dx with it in jan. 2009 and did 2 weeks of prevpac, and am currently waiting for EGD to be done next wed. to check for inflammation and a biopsy if its still there..
Avatar f tn t seem to be going away. At what point I made dr appt. They found I had the H pylori antibody. So this is day nine on the prilosec and day seven on the antibiotics (Ammoxicillin and clarithromycin)for the H pylori. My symptoms are still there SOMETIMES after eating. For the most part it has been a bland diet, except for the exception of a hamburger yesterday which caused extreme discomfort. Could this be a side effect of the medicine or my stomach trying to heal still?
Avatar f tn The bacteria is H. pylori and no, taking the meds is not going to make you feel better quickly. The bacteria has messed up your system and it could take months to get things back to normal. Finish taking the Prevpac and make sure you're retested - probably via breath test - to make sure you've gotten rid of the bacteria. Just because you're using the Prevpac (or other meds) doesn't automatically mean the bacteria will be 'gone.
Avatar n tn Described symptoms are definitevely GERD. Now, the bitter taste in the mouth suggests gallbladder disorder with biliary reflux. If the gallblader itself is OK, it still may be biliary ducts (biliary dyskinesia or sphincter of Oddi dysfunction). There are gross differences in diagnosis of stomach condition. Hiatal hernia may come and go, as hernia can slips up and down, so " now you can see it now you don't".
Avatar f tn There is no known relationship between H. pylori and the polyps. The polyps will not disappear by themselves. Polyps in any portion of the GI tract are a general 'warning' sign, and should be removed. Since the only way the polyps can be reached in the GB is via GB removal, that surgery should be done. The older recommendation was to wait to see if they grow, the newer recommendation is to have the GB removed. Anyone can get H. pylori again.
Avatar m tn I was found to have H. pylori in March, 2011 and the PCP put me on Prevpac for 14-day's treatment. After I taking the 12th dose, I was felling sore throat. Since I was in vocation then, I continued to take the rest doses. later, I went to see my PCP since persistent sore throat. The PCP just said it was allegic reaction and gave me some antibiotics (erythromycin) and ratidine. However, it totally did not work and I was referred to ENT.
Avatar n tn what if the helicobacter pylori treatment doesn't work due to the side effects?
Avatar n tn If you've have black tarry stools and anemia and positive for H. Pylori, should you always be treated with antibiotics or are there are other treatment options?. Are there any situations where antibiotics are not used but you are positive of H. pylori?

Avatar m tn I just finished treatment 2 days ago for h pylori. It was two weeks on omeprazole, clarithromycin and Metronidazol for two weeks. The original pain I was having was heartburn, bloating and a pain on my side just under my rib cage. The antibiotics gave me diarrhea several times each day. I still have the diarrhea, as well as the heartburn and pain on my side. is this pain on my side something else? A hernia? A really bad ulcer?
Avatar m tn Hello Everyone, I am 38 years old, I have been suffering from the IBS for few years now, but I was able to manage the symptoms so far, until last year when I started feeling heartburn, after consulting with an internist I was diagnosed positive for H Pylori(UBT Test), the doctor advised to treat it using triple therapy(Pantazol 40mg, Ospamox 1000mg, Avalox 400mg) for seven days, I managed to take it only for 4 days, then I agreed with the doctor to stop it because I was having very strong side e

Avatar f tn Today I finished my 2 week treatment for h pylori. But I'm still having some stomac pain as well alot of stomach gurgling. Does that mean that I still have h pylori and the antibiotics didn't work?
Avatar f tn I have a friend that just found out that he may have h pylori. what is that?
Avatar m tn Thank you for your reply. I have been having stomach problems after the treatment for H-pylori which I never had until a few weeks after I finished. I have pain which is localized to the right side and ongoing for a few months now.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with h. pylori today by my doctor. I had no symtpoms that i know of pertaining to this virus. I went to the dr. for physical. I knew I was anemic but my syptoms were tired, unable to lose weight, and stress. does anybody else have h. pylori without the typical symptoms? The dr. prescribed the prev pac but I am afraid to take them and them make me feel worse. Help.
Avatar m tn Thanks for you response. Usually what is the window period to re-test h-pylori after completing the antibiotics. Is there a chance that the burping occures even after the h-polyri eradication? Can this be re-tested through stool test origionally i was diagonised with h- pylori through endoscopy. I am already taking probiotics "Yakult". And i have used 10 days of pantocid HP kit for h-pylori treatement Thanks in advance for the help!
Avatar m tn Yes H-Pylori can cause bad chest pain, the pain is coming from the esophigus, which is just to the left of the center of your chest, if you are certain you have H-Pylori, the pain is caused by excess stomach acid, you need to get treated as H-Pylori is a nasty bacteria, it lays dorment in most people and is held in check by your stomachs good bacteria, although when you take an Anti-biotic treatment for an infection, it kills off the good bacteria and H-Pylori takes over and if left untrated fo
