ulcer stomach bacteria

Gastritis is a more likely scenario. It might not be a bad idea to check with your doc and possibly ask for some testing. You may want to consider asking him to check for the presence of H. pylori, the bacteria that is implicated in causing stomach issues and gastritis.

I have GI appointment at the end of the month. Is it possible to have a stomach ulcer for 6 months?

s fail to tell you that whenever you take antibiotics for whatever reason, It kills good stomach bacteria along with the bad, so when taking a course of high dose antbiotics, you should also take a good brand of Probiotics every day and at least 6 days after the treatment is completed. Probiotics replace the good bacteria that the treatment kills off, I would try Probiotics for a week and stay away from spicy foods.

I think of two things one is an infection if you had a productive cough or sore throat. THe other is perhaps it is bile from the gallbladder or a stomach ulcer something along those lines might fit since you have a lack of appetite as well and constipation. You may be backed up due to the constipation. I would see a GI doctor and have them give you an exam as well as perhaps some scans.

I have been diagnosed with an ulcer of the duodenum. They said that no bacteria was present. Prior to my EGD I was taking Cipro for a kidney infection. Could this have made the bacteria non present? If not bacterial than what ar the non bacterial types?

Some people get no symptoms from the bacteria. Yet ulcers in some people can be caused by the bacteria. This is why people with ulcers are usually checked for the bacteria and treated with antibiotics. Taking over the counter medications like aspirin and ibuprofen can cause stomach bleeding and ulcers. So care must be taken when using these medications.

He was laughed at and criticised until he drank a container of H.pylori bacteria and developed an ulcer caused by the bacteria. I hope you find the causes of your stomach pain and nausea.

About two months ago I started having a burning pain in my upper stomach...pretty high...almost where my rib cages meet. It burned and always felt like I was hungry...I would eat and then within fifteen min. it would feel like i was hungry again. Now within last two weeks... I am having severe pain at times...not nec. burning but pain also. At times it feels like extreme gas, pressure, and bloating. Worse after I eat..but hurts all the time. My bowel habits have changed...

the pain is central in the stomach and above the belly button. The meds Im on are actually for an ulcer or excess acid and do help when taken - its a horrid pain!

So for that issue, is it possibly to have an ulcer without bacteria present, or it takes more then those 2 procedures such as a barium test, endoscopy, etc. I was a smoker for 5 years, and I know this is the cause of my ulcer. It's a bleeding ulcer, as my stool is always covered with red blood.

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.

Hi!! I been suffering from mild stomach pain One inch above belly button its not sore,and it come and goes..i was also diagnosed with the gallstone this could be related? Thank pls help!

In reviewing my medical records from my gastroenterologist it seems they keep bouncing between a diagnoses of "non ulcer dyspepsia" and "peptic ulcer disease". The non ulcer dyspepsia is a fancy term for ulcer like stomach pain without an ulcer and no clear cause. Then I occasionally do show up with peptic ulcers, which I thought were from accidentally taking a migraine medication that had aspirin in it...but I've never been checked for the pylori bacteria.

s cloudiness in my eyes , I trouble from ulcer in my stomach and a bacteria infection and having your head and your stomach at the same time unwell please help me with that

This is a common cause of peptic ulcer and you will hardly treat an ulcer without treating eventual H. pylori. - lactulose breath test for small bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Sulphur burps, whatever you eat, on the end are caused by bacteria. Just visit a gastro.

With out treatment, the symptoms will persist and may lead to other conditions that are associated with H. pylori including duodenal and gastric ulcer, non-ulcer dyspepsia, and even stomach cancer. In the event that there is treatment failure, prompt endoscopy and culture and susceptibility testing must be done. When multiple treatment regimens fail, salvage therapy regimens such as bismuth or furazolidone quadruple therapy can also be used.

maybe your not eating the right things stay away from things with a lot of acid

I go to bed with stomach pain and i wake up with stomach pain. I move (bend my stomach) to much im in pain and when ever i eat im in pain, but if i go to long without eating im also in PAIN. Whenever im in pain my stomach also bloats to the point that i look pregnant. Im a tiny girl so it looks funny and obviously strange when i blow up like this. I have actually had people ask me if i was pregnant. I also have reflux and i burp alot.

The doctor told me I had to quit smoking because nicotine, a drug, activates the acid pumps in my stomach lining and would irritate my ulcer. It appears that maybe the lack of nicotine has caused some change in your stomach. Ten years ago, I developed a second ulcer, and I have taken one OTC Prilosec a day for 10 years with no problem. Why not try an experiment and take one Prilosec or Prevacid a day for 4 days to learn whether your heartburn has stopped?

s cloudiness in my eyes , I trouble from ulcer in my stomach and a bacteria infection and having your head and your stomach at the same time unwell please help me with that , it is like a heavyness on your brain noise irritate your head so much.

Hey reese28 - sorry you're going through so much pain and misery.. I'm not an expert but I've heard H. pylori is a tough bug to kill sometimes (basically an ulcer that's what h pylori is and causes a stomach ulcer.. I bet if you eat something acidic you'd have an angry stomach..or after a heavy meal..) and usually they do a triple antibiotic therapy here in the states (which looks like what you are doing..). You might have had dark tarry stool right?

Hello. for two days in a row I been getting pain on the right side of my stomach to the back of my rib cage. and It feels like in the front to.
