Re: H. Pylori Bacteria
I would add that it's a bet that you'll have an acid suppressant subscribed eventually. I felt awful when I was told I had h pylori, but felt better after the meds. Eventually my stomach still felt irritated and I now take Lansoprazole. I'm convinced tummy and digestive troubles are the sign of the times and our diet.02-09-2014, 07:59 PM

I'm curious, you said even after the meds you still have occasional stomach irritation? Am I getting that straight? I'm wondering if you were retested to see if the bacteria were killed and what the results were. I'm not clear on whether or not you're positive the h. pylori was eradicated.

They say the stomach is the most sensitive part of the body and I agree. It's a horrible feeling when you are out of sorts with tummy problems. It affects so many things.

Bile reflux doesn't sound fun. I wonder if I may have something similar as - not to put too fine a point on it and get all gross, but - I sometimes have yellow stools. Usually just once a month. Sometimes bright yellow. And that has started just within the last 3 months.

Re: H. Pylori Bacteria
I would never bother trying anything people suggested. It might work for them, but not me. The doc is the best person to find the right meds for you. Even if it takes a bit of time, it'll be worth it in the end. Nothing worse than feeling under the weather.
