Hpylori is a very common stomach bacteria that lives in the gut lining and duodenum. It causes many stomach problems heartburn acid reflux diahorrea painful stomach sickness. It is good that HP has been detected because this has saved your hubby getting stomach ulcers because over a long period of time hpylori can cause gastric ulcers.
HP is treated with antibiotics. The antibiotics do not always eradicate all of the HP so he will have to have regular checks after the course of antibiotics. HP is a tiny bacteria that has a spiral tail (flagella) and burrows into the stomach lining and can evade the antibiotics.
There is a holistic natural treatment called Mastic which people have found to destroy HP. If the antibiotics do not work to eradicate the the HP then perhaps your hubby might like to try the mastic under his doctors guidance. You can google Mastic on the net......hope all goes well...best wishes....

No probs happy help!...tell your hubby to stop stressing as he will make his symptoms worse.....he will be fine because his doc will start his treatment now.....your hubby has at least got a positive diagnosis so he is halfway to recovery. HP is not life threatening but it can make life very very miserable if it goes undected.....best wishes....

I would advise that you talk to your doctor before taking the mastic. You can get it in tablet form. Do you have Hpylori? and have you been treated for it with antibiotics?...

I dont know it needs a gp guidance as its a safe natural thing but i will ask the gp.
And i do not know if i have hpylori but sometimes i get stomach pain which i think its indigestion and gp was not concered about it.

I think it is a good idea to speak to your doctor about the mastic even though it is a traditional Arab sweet...just to be cautious.. and i would ask your doctor for a HPylori test it can be done by stool test or breath test...a blood test doesn't always show HPylori..best wishes.....
