    Hi

    As part of you hp therapy you were given a PPI (there are a number of similar ones).

    Have you tried taking them now ?

      I have taken omeprazole protonix lanzprazole Prilosec none of which have helped I get a hungry feeling on empty stomach but as soon as I eat it hurts no burning more of a stabbing pain in my stomach and I'm immediately full

    Well that is three different PPIs (Prilosec is a trade name for Omeprazole. Protonix is a trade name for a different PPI).

    It sounds an awful lot to be trying since June. And you definitely don't want to be using PPis as a way of life.

    What does a straightforward - non side effect - antacid do for you ?

    Such as Calcium Carbonate tabs from Boots.

    Well it sounds more Gastric than Pancreatitis which might be  a little to the right of the Sternum. But Pancreatitis caused by Gall stones can be very very painful. Don't think you would be in doubt that you would require hospital treatment. Symptoms might include looking yellow and jaundiced. You might have very pale yellow to white stools because of a lack of bile.

    Poor you. I can understand why you've given the Quacks a headache. Stools and pee sound Ok. (You are not drinking too much water are you ?).

    I mean - strangely - you've got all the symptoms of h. pylori. You were given the all clear after therapy - wonder if its worth testing again ? A particular therapy doesn't always work. Do you mind saying what particular therapy you were given ?

    On the basis that it can only do more good than harm and whatever the problem why not turn to more natural help for the Gastric system. That is probiotics and natural Yoghurt every morning together with Turmeric (10000mgms - Natures Best from Amazon) and AllicinMax - also from Amazon. One a day Vit D - Amazon again.

    Let me know what therapy you received.

    Just an afterthought. How many weeks after treatment were you given the test and the all clear from h.p. And when you were tested at this time - was it the breath test ?

    Blimey. You're a hell of a puzzle. That's an excellent therapy. And it obviously worked.

    Although you've got rid of the H pylori, I wonder if you are still suffering from the damage it caused ie inflammation or ulceration Do you smoke 'cos that's a killer from a healing point of view.
