Common Questions and Answers about Biaxin h pylori
biaxin
infection with helicobacter pylori and use of nonsteroidal anti inflammatory medications (NSAID). Although you are on PPI you need therapy for H pylori. Helicobacter pylori, also known as H. pylori, is a bacterium that is commonly found in the stomach. It is present in approximately one-half of the world's population. The vast majority of people infected with H. pylori infection have no symptoms and will never develop problems. No single drug cures H. pylori infection.
Went back to Primary Had endoscopy and biopsy showed acid reflux in lower esophagus, inflammation due to H Pylori. Prescribed 14 day Amoxicillin,Biaxin & Prilosec. And to take Prilosec once a day before 1st meal. Nausea and weight loss stopped, but cough has not. Husband is living on cough drops to no avail. Any suggestions??
I was diagnoised with H. Pylori in Dec. of 2009. The dr.was first treating me for a suspected ulcer with just changing diet and taking prilosec. Then an upper scope was done. It showed my stomach lining very inflamed, a hiatal hernia, positive for H. Pylori (by a biopsy), and said something about a ring. I was first put on the Pylera med.pack treatment. (3 pills 4x's a day for two weeks containing, bismuth subcitrate potassium 140mg, metronidazole 125mg.
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.
I have GERD / Gastritis caused by H-Pylori. I have noticed every so often I will have a sore throat. It looks raw and unpleasant. Is it common to get sore throats? I thought maybe this was caused by the acid reflux going back into the throat???
Also I am on 5days of doing the prevpac and am wondering how long it takes to heal?
t been feeling that great and the doc prescribed Prevacid at 30mg twice a day along with 1g of Amoxil and Biaxin. My H. Pylori test came back negative so I could stop the Amoxil and Biaxin. It might take a while but he tells me it will work.
On the other hand, a friend of mine had severe reflux and the doc prescribed Protonix. It worked so well that they were able to get off of it and only use it when they feel a flare up coming on (every couple months).
Anyway it has me alarmed. I have been on two antibiotics the last 10 days to try and eradicate h pylori. If it was some kind of infection these strong antibiotics should have taken it away, right? It's the same color as my palate and its hard but only painful if you push on it. What could this be? I'm trying to get over this stomach bacteria, and now this! I'm scared.
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?

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
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?
Could it be the case that might just have some form of Irritable bowel syndrome rather than h pylori, its only that initial occassion when my vomit was darkish that suggests that its h pylori, and maybe it could have been something else other then blood in my vomit. Would i be seeing tarry stools or vomit more often in other words if it was h pyleri!!
There are various combinations, the idea being to simultaneously attack three different methods of replication, because the cells mutate. There is more than one variety of H. Pylori. The bacteria exists on raw chicken sometimes and you can get reinfected. Wash and cook chicken thoroughly and sterilize all cutting boards. There are arguments pro and con administering acid reducing medications. The "pro" is that they inhibit replication.
If you've had H. pylori in the past, the blood test that you just had is NOT the correct test that should be done to recheck you for H. pylori. You're going to have antibiodies in the blood from that 1st round of H. pylori and the recent blood test may be a false positive. The only test that can be used (with a history of H. pylori infection) is a breath test. Go back and talk to your doc about this. If the breath trest turns up positive, then you need to be treated.
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.
I recently went to the doctor because I was having terrible pains in my chest and upper back after I ate. THe doctor took a bloodtest and it came back H. PYLORI positive. is there anything I can do to relieve the pain when the pain does come? is there anything I can take, over the counter or the like?
Thanks so very much
in lots of pain.
If they tested for the presence to antibodies in the blood to H. pylori, and you've had an H. pylori infection in the past, the blood test would come up positive in that test. If a biopsy whas then taken - after the infection had been cleared up - the biopsy would show negative.
If a person has had an H. pylori infection in the past and has been treated, the 'best' way of checking if the bacteria is still present is via a breath test.
