Hi folks,

Just wanted to ask a few things. I had a positive test for Heliobacter pylori, i would specifically like to hear from people that had h.pylori, how did itmakes you feel ? Were you chronically fatigued by it, feeling terrible constantly, very weak, low energy ? I've had CFS 14 months, it was initially post viral, now i am wondering the years prior of stress, depleted my beneficial bacteria and i am now left with an opportunistic infection like h.pylori. The reading from the private test seemed quite high, so i assume you can get infections worse than others ? All input appreciated. I am hopeful this is the evidence i have been looking for in remedying my CFS. Thanks

    hi david. soerry too hea ru've caught this little naughty. hope u can manage the antibiotics. i got HCP infection whilst i had CFS. yes, i felt horrible and difficult to seperate out the CFS horrible feelings from the HCP feelings. my digetsive system was worse, couldn't eat properly, constantly nausaeted etc. etc. it drags u down further. i had an engdoscopy and they found an ulcer. unfortunately, my body couldn't do the antibiotics, so used Colloidal Silver and homeopathy & kept out or arenas where HCP might be prevalent.

    Hi David

    I'm an ex-athlete with CFS/ME for years, treated with triple therapy for H.Pylori due to ongoing nausea years ago, but no reduction in symptoms, later actually told the HP test was negative.  

    I'm trialling salts, Vit C, pacing and extra sleep atm - salts (isotonic-type) make a massive difference to the dizziness but I'm not getting too excited yet.

    Hi David, 

    If I recall back to how I ended up with CFS/ fibromyalgia is that I had a prior infection with H.pylori. I use to feel very ill when ever I had a meal, would need to use the loo as soon as food entered my mouth, bad IBS symptoms, and feeling of nausea and bad acid, stomach pain. After that infection I started off with lower back pain and then following on to pain in muscles, fatigue, stiff backpain, low energy, soreness in the muscles, tingles and numbness in my arms and legs, bad sleep and brain fog which effects me daily. 

    You will be put on two different types of antibiotics which made me sick that I could not complete the treatment. 

    Wish ah you all the best

      Hi David, The bacteria can remain dormant in some peoples stomach without any symptoms where others will get symptoms. It may be you are feeling unwell because of the side effects of the triple therapy. Best to probably try and complete the treatment because in the long run the bacteria can cause cancer and ulcers if not treated.

      Did you ever get rid of h pylori? I have chronic fatigue and just tested positive for h pylori. I am already weak and am afraid to take the antiboitics. Not sure if I can make it through 2 weeks of it.

      What were your symptoms on the antibiotics?
