Hello!

Has anyone been tested for H-Pylori blood test and found the results to be negative? Apparently i had one of those tests and it showed negative, been suffering from chronic chest and abdomen pain right in the breastbone for almost 7 months! i am taking over 6 different medications to control the acid in my stomach, now the doctor wants me to undergo the endoscopy, my sister told me she had H-pylori and it showed up in the camera test but not in the blood test! im hoping to god that i have the same thing, coz at this stage im looking for treatment and cant take the pain anymore. Has anyone had the same experience out there? :? :? :?

    I have the same problem. It got worse after I went on a drinking binge and got sick of drinking too much. The pain is unbearable,comes and goes in my stomach and my right side by the breast bone,under the rib cage too.
