    i think you will be following triple therapy for 14 days ( eradication of h pylori).antibiotics worked for  1 week ,after that symptoms came back for me. So now i stick with natural foods. Avoid sugar and dairy products/spicy foods which will irritate more your stomach lining. Have cabbage, broccoli. carrots , spinach,yoghurt more frequently. Wish you for speedy recovery.

    Hi

    After suffering from h.pylori for 40 years, I started antibiotic therapy a few months ago.

    Having taken the medication for one day, I collapsed in public and finshed up in the back of an ambulance.

    The point is that the treatment is very aggressive for some people. Nevertheless it is hugely worthwhile to persist. My system seem to get used to it after 24 hours. I found probiotics and live yoghurt to be helpful both during treatment and I've continued with them since. Incidentally the Americans advise 14 days treatment. I compromised with my Doctor at 10 days.

    Yes, the downside of having to take these powerful antibiotics is that they clear the system of the necessary good bacteria as well as the bad (h.pylori).

    It is the reason why some doctors prefer you to take them for 7 days rather than 10 or 15. Its a difficult problem. 15 days is more effective but more risky leaving you open to c.difficile in particular.

    You need to get some good bacteria on board - hence live yogurt and probiotics.
