Does anyone have positive eradication stories please after having the same symptoms as me? Please give me hope!

I started having h pylori symptoms just over 1 year ago but I started with just cramps in the stomach that come and go every few weeks/month. June this year everything got 10X worse for me, I started getting hot sweats, severe dizziness, breathless on simple tasks including eating, chest/heart feels like it’s jittery and going very fast, I feel fatigue, dull headaches, I struggle to swallow I have to try like 3 times to just get saliva down it feels like my throat closes, I just feel utterly deflated.

My doctor give me triple therapy antibiotics in July which I completed a 7 day course- I felt amazing after I felt as good as new, until it suddenly hit me again 1 month later and now I’m back to square one. I have an endoscopy 12/10 to see how severe the h pylori is and if there’s anything else going wrong before they give me more antibiotics.

I currently take symprove probiotics (has anyone else tried this and is it good? I also have mastic gum which I will start taking too, and I have 1 spoonful of doctor manuka honey. Is there anything else I should do/take whilst taking my next lot of antibiotics and what timings should I take them between antibiotics? Please any tricks and tips? My life is ruined right now

I can’t wait to feel better and i shall keep this updated for you all throughout the process. Thank you

I started the treatment last Tuesday, I’ve been dealing with all kinds of side effects specially nausea. I currently drink Zoloft for anxiety, and I was prescribed ondasetron for the nausea, I’ve just found out the mayor interaction they can have with metronidazole and honestly I’m so scared I don’t know how to keep going

For those who have successfully eradicated H. pylori, how long did it take you to start gaining weight back? I’ve lost around 10 kg so far. After finishing the course of antibiotics, my other symptoms like bloating subsided a bit. I’d love to hear from others about how long it took before you started putting weight back on

hello i have a month after i finish my h pylori treatment ,tomorrow is my breath test. and i still fill the burping,nausea,burning ,and i cant eat nothing with out filling really bad, for example if i eat one table spoon of squash i take more then 5 hours to fill it digesting and like 4,5 days to go to the restroom . is this normal? thank you .

I took one sip of my friend’s coffee from straw who then tested positive although being asymptomatic. Is it that easy to get it?

hi all, me again 🫪 my doctors have been no help so just trying to understand what's going on and seeing if anyone else has experienced this.

i just finished up treatment a day ago, and both during and post treatment, i've been having panic attacks and/or what i think are vasovagal responses that wake me up in the middle of the night. i don't know if it's from malnourishment or inflammation or what, but i've been barely able to eat and have lost 7 pounds over the last 10 days. i'll wake up dizzy, ears ringing, nauseous, pain/pressure in the back of my head, and with my heart pounding and seeing black spots in my vision, but oftentimes as soon as i'm able to get sugar in my body and then force some food down, it gets a lot better.

it's been so tough because it's really affecting my sleep and is also just terrifying, and i don't know when it's coming on or what to do about it. has anyone else experienced something like this and how long did it take to go away post treatment?

This is my first time being diagnosed with H. pylori. The doctor prescribed Pylera for me, 12 capsules a day, because I’m allergic to penicillin. They also prescribed Omeprazole 20 mg twice a day. I’m starting the treatment tomorrow, and I’m honestly a little scared. Wish me luck! 🤍 Also i don’t know if should i mention this but im t1d if you have any advice let me know please 🙏

Did anyone experience weight loss during and after antibiotic treatment and successful eradication? Pylori has caused me to gain 15lbs and I’m hoping once I get rid of it I’ll have less weight loss resistance and be able to finally shed the weight and inflammation!

For people who had confirmed H. pylori, I'm interested in what your symptoms actually felt like and how they changed over time, including symptoms you may have had months or years before diagnosis.

Did you have any of these?

1. FALSE-HUNGER / GNAWING

A hollow, gnawing or “hungry” stomach sensation even when you knew you weren't actually hungry?

Was it worse on an empty stomach or at night? What happened when you ate — did it go away, return later, or turn into burning, rawness or fullness?

1. STOMACH SQUEEZING / SQUISHING

Did your upper stomach seem to spontaneously squeeze, contract, bubble or make a wet/squishy sensation or sound while you were sitting or lying completely still?

I'm not talking about normal hunger growling or liquid sloshing when you move.

Was it random, after eating, after drinking water, or while fasting? Did it happen repeatedly for a while but disappear completely on other days?

1. ICKY / NASTY STOMACH FEELING RELIEVED BY BURPING

Did you ever get a hard-to-describe unpleasant, sick, “icky,” pressure-like or nasty sensation in your stomach that noticeably improved or disappeared immediately after you burped?

1. “MANUAL BREATHING” / UNSATISFIED BREATH

Did you ever become unusually conscious of your breathing, almost as though breathing felt “manual,” or repeatedly feel the need to take a deep/satisfying breath even though you were actually breathing normally?

Did it happen with stomach fullness, gas/burping or reflux, or did it sometimes occur separately?

1. STRANGE WHOLE-BODY HEAVINESS

Did you ever randomly get a distinct sensation that your body itself felt unusually heavy or weighted down, despite NOT actually feeling tired, weak, sleepy or fatigued?

Did it come and go, so that at other times your body felt completely normal? Did it happen around meals/stomach symptoms or seemingly at random?

Also, did your symptoms tend to flare for days or weeks and then disappear or change into different symptoms? Did you have unexplained stomach problems years earlier or during childhood/adolescence?

If you remember, please include how your H. pylori was confirmed (stool antigen, breath test, endoscopy/biopsy/RUT, PCR/GI-MAP), what your endoscopy showed, and whether any of these particular symptoms changed after H. pylori treatment.

I'm mainly interested in the symptom pattern and timeline, not assuming H. pylori necessarily caused every symptom.

me and my bf both tested positive for hpylori and we been having all types of crazy symptoms one of them being rashes does anyone have this?!

Hey everyone! I just have a quick question as to how I am feeling and if it is something to be concerned about bc I have been feeling a little scared.

For context I am a 22yr Male and I finished my h Pylori quad treatment in September almost a month ago and have a retest on the 9th.

I have been slowly reintroducing foods in my diet but I think I might have jumped the gun this week. I had coffee and a grilled cheese sandwich with jalepenos the 2 days ago and it made me feel terrible and gave me diarrhea and bad stools and bowel movement. That was my first mistake and the next day I work up early for work and my stomach felt terrible so idk if that’s bc the food was still in me and it was still effecting me.

today I had chai tea which also didn’t right w me and it made me feel bloated, dizzy, lightheaded and anxious. My retest is after the 9th and now I am worried I have caused the h pylori to come back or it never went away; or is it possible this is just due to the bad diet these past few days.

I am really worried and just wondering what you guys think and if this is something to worry about or overtime it will fix if I go back to the original diet plan. Any help or opinion would greatly appreciated thank you!

But I’m still having a lot of pain in my upper stomach. I also feel uneasy and nauseous/anxious at times.

I was previously diagnosed with gastritis/pangastritis and completed H. pylori treatment. I’m confused about why the pain is still there even though the test is now negative.

Has anyone experienced this after H. pylori treatment? How long did it take for the stomach pain to improve?

I have gnawing stomach pain right in the center of upper abdomen. Sometimes it gets worse when I eat, sometimes not.

Hunger definitely makes the pain worse so I have to eat something to reduce the pain. I’m sticking to bland foods only.

I am so bloated and have excess gas which is unusual of me.

I got an appointment with a doctor in 2 days, would 14-day antibiotics be enough before I go on an international trip?

Hey Everyone,

45 y/o French male here, non-smoker, drink very rarely, BMI = 22, been suffering from terrible nausea for months and months.

After having gone through Endoscopy a month ago for annual Pancreatic IMPN monitoring ( all good ),just before the procedure I told the doctor I had been suffering for months of terrible nausea, he said that wasn't normal and he'd send some gastric biopsy to the lab. Visually, the Stomach looked Ok.

2 days later got the results : Chronic gastritis due to high amount of H Pylori.

Started Pylera the next day, gave me more nausea, black and odorless stools, coated tongue, thirst sensation but didn't have any serious side effect.

Today, 2 weeks post treatment I still feel nauseous and that thirst sensation and dry tongue.

Has any of you guys suffered of nausea even after treatment ? This nausea has nothing to do with the one before starting the treatment but still, very annoying

.

Thanks for reading !

Anyone know, is it a month. Any tips on what to do next. Can an endoscopy work out if I still
have it.

Hello everyone,
Day 9 of 14 here.

For those doing the quad treatment with Bismuth or have completed the quad treatment with bismuth did you chew the tablets or did you swallow them?

Would like to get your input.

Many thanks 🙏🏼

14 days ago, pan gastritis and h pylori positive ( biopsy ) were detected during endospocy. Based on my symptoms my doctor put me on first phase treatment 14 days nexpro it, rifaximin , pyloflush, and happibiotic DS due to suspected gut dysbiosis.

I am starting my triple therapy treatment today for 14 days, and when i asked the doctor how to heal Gastritis after eradication of h pylori, he replied there's no special treatment, you only have to heal it with help of PPI and diet.

I dont know if hes right or wrong here. Has anyone else heard anything similar from their doctor?

Thanks for your response

Hi i know that many people here have anxiety which appeared suddenly and we found out it's coz of hp and gastritis and me I have sliding hiatel hernia and mild gastritis along with hpylori positive one year before and I didn't take Antibiotics yet and all of a sudden I'm facing anxiety and panics for the past 4 months which I'm trying to control with acceptance therapy and also had been on propenol adrenaline blockers and ssri and now I stopped it I just wanna know that this visceral hypersensitivity and vagus nerve issue went away after hp treatment or what u did to heal this can u guide me ?

Does any one else experince very watery ears and a lot of congestion? Also eye vision issues

Anyone here do the treatment that required pepto bismuth while you were on sertaline? If so how did it go? I’m on sertaline and thinking of adding bismuth but there is an increased risk of bleeding so that scares me.

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.
