Pylori Blood Test Negative?

Post by dominover »

I have a gnawing feeling in my upper left stomach area, just below my rib cage. Seems to be worse when my stomach is empty and if I haven't eaten all day. It seems to have started after I breathed in, an possibly ingested, some caustic soda 3 months ago now. Initially I breathed in the vapours and then it may have splashed into some cups and I eventually drank from those cups. My silly mistake of course.

I was surprised that it seems to have as much damage as it has but I began to think that given a myriad of other symptoms I have, I could have damaged an already thin stomach lining from pylori.

I suffer from terrible bloating (for half my life). My body seems to act like a diabetic but I don't have diabetes and all tests come back healthy. I have a gnawing localised pain in my upper left stomach (just below the rib cage bottom rib). I get stomach problems easily (often getting sick from something I've eaten). I seem to have become intolerant to bread and oats (they give me terrible brain fog). If I eat too much of one thing (at one point it was tomato's) I become alergic to it.. This comes in the form of terrible brain fog and vision problems.

I'm actually quiet amazed that I don't have pylori so I'm asking any of you two questions.

1 - Can a pylori blood test pass back a false negative?
2 - If this is not pylori, then what could it be if I have had it for over 3 months now?
(I do not use NSAIDS or any other medication and haven't in 20 years at least).

it's pretty hard to get false negative from blood test. Then again, no test is 100%. If unsure, you can always get breath test to double confirm.

Nevertheless, you sounded like you became intolerance to gluten. Maybe you want to try a week without gluten to see if your symptom improve. You might want to see a specialist to discuss about this.

Hi. I thought of that so I haven't eaten gluten foods for some time now. Problem is still there.

I even had my pancreas tested. Its fine.
