My last test result just came in and result showed (as moderator predicted) the last treatment failed. I think I miscounted treatments and that was actually the 6th treatment (not 7th). I am scheduled for endoscopy/colonoscopy on Tuesday next week. I have requested blood tests (CBC and iron panel) a...

Thank you Dr Tay, and congratulations!

Hi SJ66, I notice the last test you took was the first breath test you’ve taken out of all the tests. The first breath test I took after treatment I was tested negative but I think it was probably a false negative as I don’t think I knew I wasn’t supposed to eat or even drink water within 2 hours be...

Thank you!

if you brushed your teeth every morning and night, there will be no H. pylori in the oral cavity. That's why transmission in the modern society is very low. We have seen so many married couples, decades living together, not infecting each other. H. pylori can present in the mouth if 1. the oral hyg...

It seems like the Asian strain is extremely carcinogenic. 50% of the world's gastric cancer is in China, Japan, Korea, and Mongolia...

The title is a bit misleading. If you read the data carefully, you can see that people without H pylori, there is little gastric cancer from patients who take long term PPI. For patients with H pylori infection, the gastric cancer rate is already higher than those that are not infected. So this stu...

What does this sensitivity numbers mean, please eloberate on how much dosage of antibiotics would be susceptible with these numbers. I am due to get my susceptibility test result this week. My understanding is that those numbers are the minimum amount of each antibiotic in micrograms the bacteria w...
