Please Help Helicobacter Pylori Posted: 02-05-04 09:20am
Hi, I have been ill for 3 and a half
months now with stomach pain, constipation
and feeling weak. Within the first three
months I went to hospital 6 times and the
doctors 4 times and they gave me a stomach
x-ray which showed my stomach was full
with undigested food they just kept
sending me away with suppositaries,
laxatives and painkillers. In the end I
demanded my doctor give me a blood test
and it showed that I have helicobacter
pylori, he gave me 7 days worth of
heliclear which I finished yesterday and
lansoprazole which I have started today,
when taking the heliclear all my symptoms
went but today they have all come back and
I feel as ill as before I took them. I
have told my doctor but he don't seem to
care much, plus he has never heard of the
breath test that apparentley I am meant to
have now to make sure it has gone. I am
so fed up I don't know what to do anymore,
I feel like I have been ill forever please
can someone help?

Same Problem Posted: 11-19-04 16:41pm
Hello, I have the same problems mine have
been going on since jan o4..I just went to
er on tuesday and was full of stool with
each x-ray. I am constantly constipated,
have excessive gas, full/bloating feeling
all the time. I have had an upper gi,
sid-flex, ultrasound, had to swallow these
capsules that had 25 tiny rubber band in
them to see how they went thru my
system...And still I am constipated and
can only go when taking a laxative..I just
wanted to know if you have recovered and
what did they tell you pylori comes
from?..I do have acid reflux and am on
prilosec.

Homeopathic medicine has good remedies to
correct constipation and other symptoms
due to the same like bloating of the
abdomen, excessive gas etc. Common
remedies like carbo veg, nux vomica, thuja
etc. Are very helpful for the same.

Gum Mastic Posted: 12-23-04 18:44pm
I dont know what heli clear is is it
antibiotic treatment? Anyway try gum
mastic...Look it up in google...It seems
to have worked wonders for me and seems
very inoffensive in terms of taking it
long term to totally eradicate the
bacteria and soothe ulcers

My daughter has been sick for 3 weeks with
general stomach pain, feeling full, like
water is inside, with some cramping at
times. The doctor is unable to come up
with anything- could this be h.Pylori?
She is also weak, but has normal bowel
movements... Any ideas??
Hi :) this bug is also known as
campylobacter and is nasty....I've had it
too. I used acidophilus yogurt to clear
it up- it helps to balance your bacterial
colonies ! I still take the yogurt
regularly to help keep my insides balanced
because I have found that I still have
some ongoing problems from having the bug.

I have this myself I have just have the
same drugs as you! And have been dreadful
on them so ill! And the side effects ! !
! 6 days after taking the drugs I still
feel dreadful and finding it hard to work
i've been ill since before xmas and very
ill this last 5 months! Back to the
doctors tomorrow. Still have all the same
symptoms but feel that I may have a number
of ulcers i'm going to investigate
esphageal as well! Celiac has similar
symptoms! It could be you may need
another dose of the drugs! But you cant
have the same ones ! They have to be
different! And if your doctor wont listen
ask for a second opinion!!! If he wont
give you a breath test! Then have some
more blood tests done! Also I have a
friend who is a 3rd year student doctor
she thinks I have something else!! And
the hpylori was a find! But I will let
you know what my doctor thinks....!

Hi hayley,
i have hp and this was done with the
breath test as this is more precise. My
doctor wrote me a precsription and I had
the breath test done in my local chemist.
One week cause did seem to do the trick
now the symptons are returning except for
the swelling sensation I feel in the
chest. I do have this uncomfortable
pressure/type pain feeling in the upper
stomach and down the left side of my rib
cage that spreads around to my back
though.
It's hell and stopping me from doing what
I want to do in live. Remember any other
hp tests you do to see if it has been
eradicated must be done at least one month
after taking your last prescribe
medication, otherwise you will get a false
reading
