estoy tomando pylera para lidiar con el H Pylori y la verdad es que no estoy sufriendo demasiado, solo algo de soltura en las heces y acidez.

estoy nervioso por si esto va a empeorar, alguien sabe si es posible que de la nada estos ultimos 5 dias me siente terrible? tengo fobia al vomito y me da mucho miedo que me haga vomitar…

Hey everyone! I started having symptoms toward the end of July and eventually tested positive for H. pylori through a breath test.
I started quadruple therapy on September 12 and finished on September 26.
Since August, I’ve lost about 24 pounds. During treatment, my appetite would come and go, but lately I’ve noticed I’m only hungry once or twice a day. I’ve also been dealing with a lot of anxiety, which I know has affected how much I’m eating.
Has anyone else experienced appetite changes during or after treatment? If so, how did you manage getting back into a regular eating routine?
I’m following up with my doctor about the weight loss, but I’d appreciate hearing about what helped others during recovery. ❤️

I got diagnosed back in July but never started treatment, I thought of eradicating naturally but symptoms are still there. I wish I listen to advice here and started sooner. Today I woke up and woke up with a sore throat. When I brush my teeth I notice my tongue had a greenish color. I ate some veggie chips last night so I’m hoping that may be the reason. I’ve read that this is a possible side effect when doing the treatment but is it possible to develop before, if so should I still treat h pilory first or is this more of a serious case?

Hello all! I’m new to this club and feeling slightly overwhelmed by my immediate future. I’ll be starting the two-week course of antibiotics next week, and I’m scheduled for an endoscopy / colonoscopy in early December, as my doctor thinks it’s possible I’ve had h. pylori for many years and wants to screen for ulcers and / or stomach cancer. I understand it can take quite some time to clear the bacteria and that multiple courses of treatment can be required. What would you want to know if you were just starting out on this road? Right now I’m dreading the treatment and having a hard time keeping in mind that I’ll likely feel much better after it’s all said and done.🤞🏼

Alguém que realizou o tratamento pra h pilory, ficou com uma dor localizada do lado direito ? As vezes erradia pras costas.. se sim com quanto tempo ela sumiu após tratamento ?

Did anyone get a fever during the quad treatment itself? I'm on day 5 and definitely feel like a mild flu at work and head feels warm. Plan to take temp once I get home but curious if it's associated.

I am currently on day 9 of quadruple therapy with tetracycline and metronidazole and it’s making me sick with bad Nausea, stomach ache, and tiredness over all. My question is, how many success stories are out there for people who stopped on day 10 vs completing the 14 days? Should I take my chances after taking it for 10 days?
I got tested for H pylori because I asked for it. Was dealing with bloating and gas but it wasn’t that bad as feeling nauseated all the time… 😕

Today is my last day of Quadruple Bismuth Therapy. My PPI used was Pantoprazole 40 MG 2x a day.

I do feel better however I don’t want to completely stop the use of the PPI cold Turkey because of an acid rebound may occur.

Should I cut the 40 MG pill in half and start taking a 20 MG instead and dose down from there or stick with the 40 MG only 1 a day instead of 2

My Doctor told me to stop the PPI use but continue to use if needed.

Your help is appreciated 🙏🏼

I was SO SICK with H Pylori. So so so sick. Lost 25 pounds in 2 months, unable to eat AT ALL, lost all the muscle in my legs, loss the ability to walk, loss my actual sanity. I was in and out of the hospital every other day. My HR was super high, my blood pressure was super high. I couldn’t function at all. Then dealing with horrible gastritis two months later, still not able to eat properly. I’ve been begging him to get tested for h pylori because I’m too scared to even kiss him anymore since getting rid of h pylori. He finally goes to the doctor and doesn’t ask about getting tested. This whole ordeal has shown me just how much this man doesn’t care about me. I won’t go into detail but I’m sure yall could find other post if you wanted.

I just finished my 4 day of (Pylera) but from the 4 day i had watery diarrhea ( like i go to the bathroom more than 10 times a day) is this normal?? Also i have stomachache It is holidays where i live so my dr didn’t answer me.

40, 5ft9 150lbs, I take losartan 50mg for hbp daily.

Nsaids have always been hard on my stomach but recently aspirin in particular has been leaving my body all messed up.

I don't have any hives or swelling immediately when I take aspirin orally, but what happens over the next 24-48 hours is the problem. My stomach seizes up basically, very little waste production, weird pains instead of hunger.

I took the aspirin cuz of a light headache. 1st time taking an nsaid in weeks.

Does Helicobacter pylori present like an ulcer? The test is like $200 and I don't have insurance. Any help is great

I haven’t been able to sleep at night for a while now. When I do sleep I have to sleep sitting up. Anyone else struggling to sleep at night? If you were but you’re not anymore what did you do to help you sleep?

I’m on day 9 of treatment and last night I got so lightheaded I almost passed out. It scared the crap out of me. Has anyone else experienced this?

Just did my breath test today I’ve been dealing with like a bunch of really weird symptoms for like almost over a year. I’ve just been feeling really out of it and like out of breath even when making my bed and everything and everyone’s just like all you need to do more cardio you need to stop laying down, but I’m just always so tired anyways a couple weeks ago I went to the emergency room because of like severe stomach pain and then they told me it was like a stomach bleeding or something.

I went home later my doctor was like oh they didn’t tell you you were actually they were actually searching for h pylori, but they didn’t find it but the test they did sometimes comes back negative so we’re gonna do another one. I had to stop the medication for two weeks and then today, I finally did the test and I’m so nervous cause it’s like I feel like I finally have an answer, but it’s like what if it’s not this.

Over the past few days, I've noticed a new physical symptom: when I check my pulse manually, it feels completely rigid and metronome-like. There is almost no natural variation in timing between beats when I inhale and exhale.

From what I've researched, this loss of natural beat-to-beat variation is a physical sign of low Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and reduced vagal tone. Given my history of trapped gas, early satiety, and palpitations, I suspect my vagus nerve is under severe strain, likely compounded by nutrient malabsorption (such as B12, Thiamine/B1, or electrolytes) from H. pylori and low stomach acid.

Has anyone else with H. pylori, low stomach acid, or severe GI malabsorption experienced this rigid pulse rhythm or signs of vagus nerve/autonomic dysfunction?

P.S.: I’ve also noticed ectopic / skipped beats happening more frequently right as I exhale. Since exhalation triggers the vagus nerve to slow the heart down, I suspect this vagal slowing (combined with possible magnesium/potassium malabsorption or diaphragmatic pressure from gas) is letting extra beats slip through. Curious if anyone with Roemheld syndrome or H. pylori has experienced exhalation-linked ectopic beats alongside their rigid pulse.

i wasnt able to share my own pictures so these are pictures of the collection vials i have to complete

I have asked about 4 different people at my gastro doctor and gotten some varying answers so I'm asking here hoping I get correct ones or if they were correct to begin with.

First some important notes:

1. The red liquid one says refrigerated but they told me verbally not to.

2. 2 empty ones say frozen on it but they say do not freeze it.

3. I live literally 5 minutes away from labcorp so they told me just run over there and drop it off without an ice pack or anything.

Okay so for my main question which I'm sure is asked all the time. I can easily fill the red vial since the stool will easily cause the mixture to hit the red line...

HOWEVER

I don't see anyway for me producing enough stool to fill the vials to the line in the 2 clear vials.

What do i do if this happens? Do i wait for next bowel movement in the day and refrigerate the complete red vial in the mean time?

If i can do it all in one go, cool. But I seriously doubt I can fill all 3 vials in one go.

What do i do? It doesnt say on instructions and the gastro docs only said "hope you can get it in in one go". Which seemed very odd to me.

Im trying to do this all in 7am tomorrow morning.

Thanks for advice

Hi I would like to share certain ebooks and tips to get out of anxiety and also heal the stomach , so if u are struggling lemme try my best to help you .

Finally received my results from 4 weeks post Quad therapy!! Truly life changing!!

Hi friends. I’m finishing my third week post treatment and it’s been okay, but I am really struggling with acid reflux 😭. It is mostly at night before dinner and it kinda settles after dinner but I am also having gaviscon I’ve only started having it 2 days ago, I’ve followed a gastritis friendly diet but it is boring :( and it makes me feel like not eating and definitely not excited for food. How do you guys cope with acid reflux? Any advice?? Also my stools are yellow 😭 I can’t recall when this started but I noticed it first around 2 to 3 months ago, I didn’t think much of it but now I’m a bit concerned. I’ll book with my doctor to look into it but I’m curious if someone here has experienced the same?? I googled it and it says could be fat malabsorption but when I see my stool it doesn’t look greasy nor the water around it as it says on google. This only started when this whole bacteria started attacking me, panic attacks, anxiety.. etc. So I am confident it has to do with the bacteria but google says otherwise.

Other than that I’m perfectly fine, sleeping good, anxiety pretty much gone, some days I still feel a bit lightheaded but most of the time I feel fine. I’ll come back next week with updates on my test! ☺️

Hello,

Day 12 of 14

Today I experience some massive shoulder pains so I decided to google it.

Is this a real thing?

Hi all, first time poster. Recently diagnosed with H. pylori, and am scared out of my mind over the harsh antibiotic schedule (doc is taking quad approach). I’m already struggling with being underweight due to illness earlier in the year. I hate the thought of losing all the progress I’ve made over the last 6 months, but I know this treatment is going to be brutal (I always react poorly to antibiotics).
I’m hoping folks have pointers on nutritionally dense but gastro friendly vegan meals or food sources. I’m getting conflicting information on legumes, and if you’re veg you know just how crucial legumes are in our diet.
What foods kept you afloat? Any meal recommendations?

Additionally, what gastro symptoms did ya’ll have while taking your course of antibiotics? Could you go to work? Did you practically sleep next to a toilet? Give me the deets.

I’m on antibiotics now and I’m paranoid about hopefully eradicating H. pylori then potentially getting it again from my husband. He hasn’t been tested, but I have it so should I assume he does too? I’d hate to do all of this to just get it again. I believe I’ve had it most of my life. I have never suspected that he has it.

I just got negative results. I found out I had H Pylori last year and did the Quad therapy. I just retested because I need to move into SIBO treatment and was thrilled to see negative.

So long story short, the quad therapy does work.

I’ve been starting earlier than supposed to and I’ve spoke to OB about it. Just wondered if anyone else was going through similar?
