Yes I personally would have not taken 2nd round of anti biotics without any testing. Anti Biotics, in my experience and research, wreaks a bit of havoc on the gut by themselves, and can throw things out of whack. You certainly dont want to take them if they aren't needed. I would have insisted on ha...

Yea I think Endoscopy is in order for you. Id do some research and go to a good GI doc who has a great history performing endoscopies. Someone who is very thorough. Its the only way you are going to start getting to the bottom of yoru issue I think. It was the same for me. Endoscopy answered all my ...

Yea breathe test so fast seems really odd. Makes me question GI doc a little here. Surely he knows you should wait a few weeks first. I would contact him and express my concerns, or even print off stuff from professional online sources to show him and then ask why his opinion differs from expert opi...

Yes, that's what I'm worried about is that the ulcer could be bleeding. I'll have to call my doctor tomorrow to let him know about my newest symptom. I will say one thing though being on the triple therapy I was all excited when I read the horror stories on a forum on this website because I thought...

Have you been eating Tum's or other chewable antacids? Or drinking things for the stomach pain like Maalox or Pepto Bismal? These things all will color the stool.

Hello cogsworth. I sympathize with your situation. I recently finished a several month ordeal that involved the same treatment you are about to begin. I am a 31 year old male. I too have a tendency toward anxiety. Im a small frame guy and only weight around 125 lbs, but even I lost several pounds du...

Thanks helico_expert. Ive done a little reading around by using the key terms to search for material. It seems that some of what I have found has suggested that pathologically my stomach and even my esophagus to some extent has suffered some ongoing irritation and inflammation. This could entirely h...

That would be a very short and boring book Helico_expert! No one would buy it. lol Ive decided not to post my full report becaus I would have to edit it heavily because it contains a lot of personal info. I do have some questions about the pathology report however that use a lot of medical jargon th...

As promised, Im back to deliver a bit of closure to this multi-month ordeal Ive beengoing through. In short, the results of my endoscopy and pathology report are about as good as could be expected. I will post my full report tomorrow to hopefully get some more expert feedback on it, but this is the ...
