My nightmare since three years ...

The various unpleasant manifestations of Helicobacter can be described here. Remember however that the great majority of persons with Hp have no symptoms that they are aware of and consider themselves normal.

My nightmare since three years ...

Post by magicmattx »

Dear all,

I hope all of you are doing well!

I'm a 33 years old Italian guy and I've been lived in Dubai from 2010 to 2016.
Due to my job (I'm a sales manager), I was involved in several trips (about 500 total) around Middle East and North Africa in different countries such us Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Egypt and so on.

At the end of September 2015, after a trip in Oman, I suddenly developed symptoms like nausea, lack of appetite, indigestion, postprandial fulness for about two days. I just remember that I ate a spoiled chicken (I believe it was uncooked, green color) at the Muscat Oman airport (around 1pm) and I started to feel really sick around 10pm.

After that I've been (more or less) symptomless for about one month.
At the end of October 2015, I woke up in the morning with a severe/acute gastritis accompanied again with all the symptoms mentioned above.
This acute gastritis have been cured successfully using IPP and antacid.
Despite that, since October 2015 (till now) I'm suffering EVERY SINGLE DAY about the following symptoms:

* Nausea during awakening in the morning (like indigestion);
* Lack of appetite;
* Severe indigestion after every meal;
* Postprandial fullness after every meal;
* Occasional burping;
* Weight loss (about 6/7 kg), Unable to put weight;
* Stomach burning (only few days);
* I do not have acid reflux;

During these three years I did several exams as follows:

* Two gastroscopies: in the first one I had bile reflux, the second one was completely negative;
* CP test during gastroscopies for HP: negative;
* Stool test for HP: negative;
* Breath test for HP: negative;
* Blood test for HP: negative;
* Abdominal ultrasound: negative;
* Celiac test: negative;
* Lactose intolerance breath test: negative;
* Test for tropical diseases (such as Giardia): negative;
* Other different tests: all negative;
* Different blood tests: all negative;

As all exams done are negative I've been diagnostic with a generic Dyspepsia without any specific cause.
I do not have any symptoms that could be related to depression/anxiety, I have a great job, I'm sleeping well and my life is pretty fine despite is totally spoiled by this disease.
I've tried any kind of medications (such as IPP, prokinetics, antidepressant, anti-acid and so on) but no one is working.

I'd like to understand from the experts of this forum if there's a remote possibility that I have contracted some bacteria (when I ate the chicken in Oman) which is similar to HP and that is causing all my problems.
I'D LIKE TO ADD THAT THE FIRST DAY I STARTED TO FEEL BAD (IN OCTOBER 2015) I've developed a kind of ACNE ROSACEA in my both cheeks which is always the same every single day without any particular changes.

I'm really desperate and I hope somebody could give me some specific advices.

Thanks a lot in advance.
Magic

Hi,

Just have to remind you that this forum is focus on H. pylori and disease related to H. pylori. So, if you have not checked if you have H. pylori, perhaps you can go to a doctor and have that checked out.

Dear Sir,

Thanks for your reply.

As indicted in my topic all the tests I did to find the H. pilory are negative ... my question was if there’re kind of H Pilory or another bacteria that can create the symptoms I have. I’m just worrying because if I got this bacteria it was in Oman so maybe there are different type of H Pilory that cannot be found through the exams I did (breath test, gastroscopy, blood and stool test).

Thanks a lot!

ah.. sorry. I missed that part. But, only H. pylori is found living in the stomach. nothing else is shown to have ability to colonise the stomach. So perhaps you have something else. such as microbiome.
