After H Pylori

Hi Tasha, I'm actually going though the same thing. It's been a nightmare! I've been sick for 8 months and just recently finished two rounds of antibotics. My digestive tract is so bad I still don't have an appetite I've lost 9kg. Wondering if you have recover from this? I'm desperate I cry everyday because my kids need there mum back! Thank you

Hi Tasha

I know it a bit late for me to comment about your issue, I hope you are feeling a lot better now, so concerned after reading you comment, please kindly update us on how you're doing

Thanks

Daniel

I'm so sorry you're having such a difficult time. I hope you have a positive update to give.

I had H pylori in October of last year and was treated with antibiotics. I also had an endoscopy done because the pain in my upper mid stomach area never went away. Still to this day, I still have horrible pain most of every day. My endoscopy came back fine with just some inflammation in my small intestines. My stomach constantly feels hard and is just so sensitive and painful. I've read most of the comments and notice everyone has weight loss, I don't have that problem... it's just the pain is so unbearable.... does anyone else have this awful constant pain?

I don't see anyone saying they've tried cabbage juice, and I only mention this because  I've have an upper GI bleed 9 times. Started 3 years ago. Sometimes 2 times in a year.  7 of those times I had to have a blood transfusion. A doc said I had AVM (arterial vein malformation) - he did a laser treatment on my stomach, then said he found  an ulcer but it might have stopped bleeding by the time he looked at it in the endoscopy. So he wasn't sure it was the problem. But the lasering didn't work so that was not the problem, as i bled again after the procedure. 

I don't have pain - just the bleed. I recently read a book on gut problems and one of the suggestions was fermented cabbage juice (saurkrat juice) for ulcers.  I hadn't had a bleed for over 6 months thought I was doing great. And saturday got that pounding in my gums and black stool so I knew I was bleeding again.  I purchased a fermented cabbage juice bottle (Gut Shot) at the health food store - I drank just one gulp every couple hours and damn if I didn't stop bleeding in 1 day.  And usually I bleed for a min of 4 or 5 days before I've lost enough blood they will take me in the emerg room at the hospital to get blood. By monday I had lighter stool and tues completely back to brown, and I felt better so i know I wasn't bleeding any more. And out of 9 times, this has never happened- that I stop bleeding in 1 day. 

I called a friend of mine to tell him about the results as I know he had an ulcer and he told me he's been drinking raw cabbage juice for 6 weeks and has completely cured his ulcer.  So there is something to this. I think I like saurkrat over just raw cabbage so sticking to my fermented juice as I think it has more enzymes and easier to take a shot of it.   But just google ulcer and cabbage and tons of sites and info will come up.  It really was amazing.  I don't think I will have another bleed again. Ever.

I lost appetite high upper stomach pain lost weight was sent as red flag alert for stomach cancer to get camera down it showed up 3 ulcers around the dueduom was treated with triple therapy for helibactor plus stomach tab

Tasha I don’t know if you will get this since you posted three years ago but I’m wondering if you ever got better I’m going through this now it’s horrible it’s been six months since my treatment and I feel no better

Hello T Tasha

I have just finished treatment 2 weeks ago and we must be twins. Dont feel bad. I believe its normal. Our bodies must heal from this parasite and the damaged its caused. Im not myself I dont even recognize who I am. Its scary, but your not alone. God is amazing Tasha, and he will see you through this. Just have faith, eat right, and pray!

I have been cured of h-pylori back in July almost 6 months ago and felt no better.  I made them test me 2 more times then had an endoscopy and colonoscopy in October and all was clear.  Still my stomach was sick, and constant diarrhea.  I have been searching the internet for months and was convinced that it had to be Candita from the potent antibiotics I had to take back in July.  I  have been taking probiotics since I took the antibiotics however they couldn’t of been strong enough finally on the Internet I found someone with the same symptoms and of course they were selling a probiotic but this one apparently had 17 different strains and I thought if this can’t help me nothing well so I tried it but the thing is you have to cut out sugar you cannot have sugar because the bad bacteria feeds on sugar candida feeds on sugar so if you going to take the probiotics you need to cut out the sugar I did that with those probiotics and within the month I feel absolutely back to normal!  I’m sure that’s why most of you are still Sickand I don’t understand why these gastroenterologists don’t realize this. 

Hi tasha156,

I just got off the treatment for H.pylori one month ago, I lost only 10 pounds but I already more than recovered it. I was feeling well but then I drunk red wine and everything worsened: heartburn, mild stomach pain, burping, reflux acid, etc. I didn't do endoscopy yet; it is scheduled for Mach 14th. I find that I get better when I eat regularly, even if it is a small amount of food. But I keep eating every 3 hours. I am now weight more than just prior to the diagnose of H.pylori. I did get a really bed allergic reaction, itching and urticaria all over my body, a surge in Candida albicans, and I got to big deep bumps in my crack, that would itchy to the point I could make it bleed. I got prescribed "Betaderm cream 0,1% - Betamethasone Valerate" and it made the itching go away in a few days. Now I have this upset stomach, bouncing between mild diarrhoea and constipation, pain in the descending colon, and I am really afraid I have something more serious, since my father died in the same age I am now from cancer in the stomach. You gotta eat, even if you don't have any appetite. Sending you good vibes!
