Got the results of the 5 week follow up breath test today and it came back positive. Doctor suggested I make appointment with a GI doctor opposed to him doing a 2nd round of treatment. Is it uncommon to require a 2nd round of antibiotics? Mild nausea a few hours after eating eating & slight tenderness of stomach are the only systems I’ve experienced.

it's getting more and more common for people to get second round treatment. Just remind doctor to give you high dose PPI, and if you are not allergic to penicillin, give you high dose amoxicillin, bismuth and one other antibiotic that you had not tried, eg. ciprofloxacin.

GI Doc put me on Prevpak for the next 14 days. Wonder why he didn’t include Bismol in the treatment? Does it
Interfere with the Amox or Clarithro? Would it hurt if I chewed a few Pepto tabs during the day?

bismuth is not in the first line treatment. Yes, you can chew a couple to boost the cure rate.

You can have anything you want except alcohol. Some Antibiotics dont like alcohol.

H. pylori like sugar? that's just a rumor.
