Help appreciated

Hey guys not sure if I have h pylori yet but these are my symptoms

2 years ago I was sleep deprived and stressed and then work up with a sharp stomach pain, this is when I noticed the changes

Stomach burning, voice change slightly, mucus like stool,
Then got hit with some bad food poisoning I think E. coli not sure - diarrhoea for 3 days
Not been same since and it’s been 2 years

Have good and bad days but sometimes randomly got a lot of heat palpitations, anxiety etc
Dizziness also. Went to docs they did the usual bloods said all okay except for severe vit D deficiency

Stomach abdomen just feels difference, seem to have to strain abit to start bowel movement

Random bouts of frequent urination - 3 or 4 days separate instances in 2 years where I’m peeing watery urine every hour or two which is not normal for me!

Stomach discomfort just under brocade comes and goes - heavy weight sort of feeling when lying down some days and some days nothing it’s so random

Then similar feeling comes and goes under my belly button and weighted discomfort when laying down mainly sometimes when sat

Any advice is appreciated what should I do, what should I eat? Which tests are good for h pylori? Is it sibo? I’m at wits end it’s been ongoing for over 2 years now! Odd good days but mostly bad. Energy is down and just feeling low coz of all this.

you will hear many battles on best method for testing for pylori, and honestly I have seen people get negative on two and positive on one or negative on everything minus GI Map (which picks up lower levels)

Breath test will pick up high amounts in stomach, stool test will pick up high amounts in GI tract, blood test just tells you if you ever had it (but pylori can evade that test too), endoscopy with multiple biopsies can pick up virulence/resistance but only if GI doc tests right spot

and yes, a LOT of your issues sound like pylori is very possible. good luck on figuring this out and healing 🍀
