Hi. I was diagnosed with HP in December and took the HP7 meds. I took the test last week and was given the all clear on Thursday (thank God). On Thursday I felt yuk but put it down to me drinking ginger beer. Since Thursday I have had nausea, burning in my stomach, burping and a general feeling of not being 100%. i am now worried that it has returned. Can it come back that quickly?? I pray not but these symptoms are a bit too familiar. I think I will need another test but keen to know if other people have experienced this?
Thanks

Hi, I hope not. I did the treatement in November and received the clear in December. Altogether I feel much better. However, depending on what I eat the symptoms will be back. They won't be as strong though - no depression, no freezing, no general pain - but hole in stomach, headache and tummy ache. As I notice it is related zo my eating will try a strict diet for the next few days. Eggs and rice with very little fat. Hope it will help. Maybe you should try too. The gastŕitis caused by hp remains after the bacteria is gone. doc said it can take up to one year to go away. Good luck!

I agree. Depending on the damage done. Some people complete recover and never have problems again. But some people occasionally get a flare up, then the frequency of experiencing the symptoms get less and less.

Nevertheless, it is important to make sure you are now free of H. pylori. So it is best to get a follow up test.

It is rare for people to get reinfected again unless you are living with a carrier who is unhygienic. We have seen many couples, for many years, never infect each other.
