Yes, I probably still have it. I took two different triple meds. The hp still didn't go away, finally my doc told me to just live with it. The symptoms come and go.

Hello! I'm returning to this page after a few years of absence. My doc has given me a prescription for Vimovo 500mg twice a day. Vimovo is Naproxen covered in Esomeprazol (Nexium). She gave me this for my hip pains, after I told her about my history with chronic gastritis and previously Helico infec...

Dear Helico Expert! My first therapy consisted of Metronidazol, Lanzoprazol and Claritromycin for 7 days. My gp recommends repeating it, only replacing Metronidazol with Amoxicillin.

What do you recommend?

Hi!

I had the triple therapy in May, that's it. I've only had it once. So you really think I should try once more. My GP says it's up to me. If I want, I can have a quadruple therapy that lasts 14 days.. I'm not sure what to do..

Here is an update: I had my second gastroscopy two weeks ago, and the results are now in. The sores are gone. There's however a lot of chronic gastritis. The gastroenterologist said that this may last for years.. The helicobacter is still there, but he doesn't think it's giving me the symptoms. Sinc...

Thanks for your replies, it's comforting to know I'm not alone! When is your endoscopy? I hope you'll share the findings. I'll stop freaking out over the whole cancer thing. It's just that I have young kids and my work here is'nt done yet! I honestly have no idea why Norwegian doctors refuse the bre...

Thank you for both your answers! I have urged both my gp and the gastroenterolist about the breath test, but they refused. I than went to another gp, but she would'nt do it either, saying its not "the golden standard", God only knows what that means. She only did a blood test, that only sh...

I hope someone with similar history can help me. After two years of tummy pains, my gp sent me to a gastroenterologist. He performed a gastroscopy in May, which showed I had HP. I took the triple therapy, but pains stayed and worsened. Now, 7 painful months later, my gp is once again sending me to h...

My docs will absolutely not do the breath test. Nor is the stool test available in Norway.

Is it possible to order the test from abroad and do it at home? Does anyone have web link?

I called my gp again today (I think he's getting tired of me..) and said that I want the breath test. He said it's not available anywhere in Norway.. So there's nothing more I can do...
