After h pylori eradication

Post by Lynncm »

Hi, I learned I had h pylori infection toward the end of May after several months of unusual stomach issues that would come and go. It started with just a cramp like sting in the left side of my stomach back in January. By May I was having daily indigestion, burping, bloated stomach, cramps, loss of appetite, grumbling and burning stomach and a hunger feeling even after eating. After going to the doctor several times over the few months, and having ultrasounds and regular blood work she finally ordered a blood test for h pylori which came back positive. I took 2 weeks of the prevpack and acidophilus. I also continued the acidophilus for a while after the antibiotics, and loaded up on yogurt. After about 3 weeks I had the stool test which came back negative. The course of antibiotics was pretty tough but my stomach did seem to improve. My question is, I still do not feel my stomach is back to normal. Some days are much better than others. Some days I burp all day and have an unsettled stomach, and a dull hunger feeling much of the day, and an occasional cramp on the left side. I haven't had any issues with diarrhea or anything like that. I have tried to keep my diet pretty bland and healthy. Currently I am not taking any medications. I finished my antibiotics about 6 weeks ago is this normal for recovery? My doctor hasn't been too helpful with information on h pylori in general. I do not go to a GI doctor and I don't want to do unnecessary testing or medications. Should I be concerned that my stomach isn't 100% yet? Thanks for any help!!!

I trust you doctor and pathology laboratory did a good job in reading the stool test result. I assume it's a true negative instead of a border line negative.

The recovery of your stomach is different from one to another. Some people recover almost immediately and some people can take weeks or months to recover.

Have a read at this thread. There has been good discussion on managing the "discomfort" after antibiotics.

If the infection is confirmed to be eradicated what causes the symptoms to continue?

Like you said, it was troubling you from 6 months. Give your digestive system couple of months to settle to normal.
