My Doctor prescribed me with triple therapy antibiotics for h pylori which I took for nine days. First day I took them I had the worst stomach pain ever, almost like I was having mini contractions. During the antibiotics my stool started to turn green and I started having diarrhea and almost every side effect. Its been 2 months now and symptoms are still the same. I'm losing weight, my stool is still green, stomach pain, my urine is dark and I have no appetite. My life hasn't been the same since because it's causing me to become really depress. My doctor did do a stool test and test me for parasites, c-diff, and something else can't remember but he said it was negative. He also told me I would have to wait until April to retest for h pylori. At this point I am sick and tired of waiting for appointments after appointments. I just need to know what's going on. I thought by now antibiotics would be cleared out my system.

That is unfortunate. The antibiotics usually out of the system very quickly after stopping. It's good to know that c-diff and other parasites are negative. I think the antibiotics have upset your guts flora and it's finding a hard time to come back to normal. by any chance, have you had appendix surgery before? it serves as a reservoir for guts flora to come back after antibiotics treatment.

anyway, when did you stop your PPI and and antibiotics? if you have not had any for at least 4 weeks, you can do your breath test to confirm the HP eradication.

Hi Mizztaurus86,

Have you considered taking probiotics? Antibiotics combination for H Pylori are a strong cocktail, and they kill also the good bacteria. I would strongly recommend you taking probiotics for at least a month and see how it goes afterwards!!

What are your symptoms?

It takes a while until you start recovering and feeling better, and this depends on each person, we all react differently. I had the course of antibiotics in November 2015, and I am still struggling / feeling very tired all the time, however I can say there has been some improvement in certain aspects.

Don't get discouraged, you will feel better ! A positive mind does a lot!

Take care :-)
