Thank you. I am not sure if I would be approved for another endoscopy so soon. I had my last one about 6 months ago (2 treatments ago).

Results were:

Antibiotic: MIC (mcg/mL)
Amoxicillin: <=0.008
Ciprofloxacin: >2
Clarithromycin: >0.5 [Resistant]
Metronidazole: 32
Tetracycline: 1

Doc felt most of these abx (except for amox) required too high dosages to have any effect
I read custom therapy has 100% cure rate. Taking abx at high dosages is dangerous?
I did the custom therapy for treatment #4 and it failed for me.

Perhaps you can have a chat with Prof. David Graham.

I will ask my GI doc to reach out to him. I think they might be better suited to talk with each other. Thank you!
