A question about neurological issues and treatment for HP

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.

A question about neurological issues and treatment for HP

Post by Mic67 »

Hi everyone

I have a couple of questions after just testing positive for HP.

To cut a long story short, I was having investigations for difficulty swallowing and they found the infection. Weirdly, only 2 months ago, I managed to wean myself off 10 years of PPI use which was very difficult. (I originally was prescribed them for a haitus hernia which is now gone apparently!). I still can't believe I am off them, with very little reflux which I have been treating with bicarb.

I had Giardia in 2017, could this be related to HP?

Over the last year, I have developed some weird neurological issues and leg weakness, which were diagnosed as Functional Neurological Disorder. (ie/medically unexplained symptoms!)

I wondered if this HP infection could have been causing the brain fog, fatigue and neuro issues all along? Does anyone know?

Also, my doctor is writing the presciption for triple therapy as we speak. I wondered if it works, as I already feel quite unwell and not sure that I want to put myself through anything else!

Thank you in advance for any experience and information.

Mic :D

at the moment, H. pylori is known to cause problem within the gastric. There are many hypothesis that H. pylori may also related to other immune or neurological related diseases. However, the evidence is not strong enough yet.

The symptoms you described do not sound like typical H. pylori infection. However, if it is caused by some unknown bacteria, it'll be killed together with H. pylori from the triple therapy.

Hi there

Thank you so much for your reply.

My doctor has suggested I read up on it before I make a decision about the medication as I already feel unwell from other issues and gastric-wise things seem to be settling down since withdrawing from the PPI.

My question is, is this contagious? Can I pass it on to other people, if so how?

Thank you.

You can pass to other people by kissing or sharing food. But if you keep your mouth cleansed by brushing teeth twice a day, then it'll greatly reduce the chance of transmission.

If you already have HP diagnosed, then I think you should get it treated.

Hi I had some similar issues with brain fog and fatigue. Son't for sure it comes from HP but I really hope it will be gone after the treatment. Have had inflamated nerves for quite a long time. It got better after I was diagnosed fructose malabsoptiin and I took vitamin B.
Have you decided to make the therapy?
