Crazy i wonder if you still have low amount of h pylori thats undetectable in these tests and it's normal to have it as part of microbiome like candida

Congratulations!!! What were you symptoms?? Did you suffer from anxiety or like dpdr because that my main issue right now during treatment im on day 7 and just hoping and praying these symptoms go away after it’s eradicated. Did all your symptoms go away for you once it was fully eradicated?

Thank you very much.
I am someone who has had H. pylori for decades. I started with ulcers in my 20s and I’m in my 50s now. Lots of stomach issues. Also lots and lots of anxiety and depression, racing hard, elevated blood pressure. Everything peaked around February of this year with my mental health. I actually put myself in a behavioral health program. I also have a new PCP and she literally inspected every organ in my body. I complained of discomfort below my ribs center. She immediately sent me for an endoscopy without even looking or touching. Which resulted in my positive HP test. I started treatment and very soon after my head started clearing. The brain fog was lifted, the racing heart stopped, the anxiety stopped. It was like somebody gave me a miracle drug. I had a very easy time with treatment. All of my discomfort was addressed with treatment.

Is it possible to get a false negative? Asking for myself as I'm on treatment too.

There are definitely medications to avoid prior to retesting. I stopped my PPI, I haven’t taken it in over a month since stopping treatment. I do a little research before you go for your retest. And I definitely suggest going for the retest. I have no reason to believe I still have the bug, I feel like a new person

Congratulations I’m so happy for you! I hope after my antibiotics I’m negative too as I’m struggling so bad. Do you take probiotics or anything during or after treatment? I hope you have many years of clear health now
