Well well well.... Its been a long battle with the h.pylori bug, quad therapy, weight loss, and the whole nine yards..... a few weeks after the antibiotics, i slowly started getting my appetite back ( woooohoo! ) and overall started to feel a bit better with minimal stomach discomfort... finally as of 5 days ago my stool test came back with a negative! ( the samples were taken last monday ) Should be pretty excited right? ... wrong... why? As of yesterday, the nausea, burning, bloating, feeling full quickly, burping, loss of appetite, stomach gurgling and discomfort etc. all came back... I stayed up till 4am the previous night before all this and awoke the next morning around 1pm, I noticed some discomfort as i woke up. I took a shower, and had a meal ( broccoli and eggs ) around 2:30, and felt once again bloated after eating.. weird because I was feeling much better lately and had that negative retest. Throughout that day I had work, and felt the nausea and burning were pretty noticeable my whole shift. usually when i eat at work, i get hungry again within 30-60 min.. yesterday i noticed i remained full and didnt eat anything when i got home which i usually do.....
Now.. Today my stomach is burning more than yesterday and it feels like its alllll coming back! my mind is going crazy from trying to figure this out and understand it.

heres a few of the thoughts ive been having.
- ENT diagnosed me with laryngopharyngeal reflux ( silent reflux ) about two weeks ago, and told be to take ranitidine 150mg. is the Zantac causing me the trouble i am experiencing ?
- Is my girlfriend a possible carrier? we are sexually active, and are always kissing etc. Im wondering if shes not showing symptoms but has passed it to me again and caused me a relapse?
- Could zantac cause a false- negative result in stool tests? i was taking zantac when i took my stool sample. and i was off ppi for about 3 weeks. And could zantac cause a false negative if i were to take a urea breath test?
i was just starting to feel better again.... ugh
