H Pylori anyone?

I had an gastroscopy earlier today which revealed I have H Pylori. I've been researching the symptoms of which there are loads, but it has brought a sense of relief as I have been experiencing many of them including weight gain and severe heartburn just to mention a few. I am now on the triple attack of meds 2 antibiotics and a tab to lower the acid into the stomach. They also took a biopsy so go back in 2 weeks for the results.

Can anyone relate or share there experience of this disease?

Thanks in advance!

  • Hi there, my doctor said there was no point in resting me, he thinks the triple therapy would have eradicated the infection. So far I have been a lot better although still phlegmie, the stuck in the throat thing comes back every now and again, but mainly free from it but still not feeling 100%, the huge dose on antibiotics caused a lot of other problems, cycitis, cold to name just a few. I'm still taking pre/pro biotics to build up some good bacteria again. Feel like a hypochondriac with all these ailments :(
