Looks like they only tested Pylori on 1. is that usual? A. DUODENUM, BIOPSY: - DUODENAL MUCOSA WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. Note: The villous architecture is preserved, and there is no evidence of intraepithelial lymphocytosis. A special stain (Alcian Blue/PAS) to identify Whipple's disease is negative, an...

Biospsy came back negative for pylori - though I have 2 small ulcers.
Could medicine type ulcers create gas/heartburn symptoms?
I feel like crap and was hoping for a diagnosis. Now Im at square 1

Thanks for your response.

In the NYC area. US

Which ppi do you typically use?

And as far as diet goes on antibiotics - is it down to the brat diet?

My doctor is old school. Hes probably just going to throw the same drugs at me hes been prescribing for 30 years. Im wondering what is the optimum treatment in terms of drugs/diets. Basically what PPI and at what dosage is best? (Choices) Probiotics - yes or no - and if so when during the day? Any a...

Doctors not prescribing drugs til Thursday - a day after I take amoxicillin to see if allergic. Would it be a problem to wait a couple of days after initial amoxicillin dose to start actual treatment?

So the biopsy is not looking for h pylori but immune cells? OK

Waiting on my biopsy results and Im confused. If most of us (or at least a good percentage) have Pylori in our stomachs - how can a test tell the difference between an actual Pylori case and the "presence" of it. Is there a high number in a biopsy? How does this work.

Hope Im being clear. Thanks

Allergy test is skin - and then you actually take amoxicillin and they watch u for an hour.
So wondering if would need to immediately start treatment after taking amoxiicillin.

Starting treatment in a week. Was off PPI's for 2 weeks prior to my endoscopy.
Is it OK to go back on Prilosec now for a week before actual treatment? (Will that hurt treatment)

I dont know necessarily which PPI Ill be taking on treatment.

Thanks!

Last question on this. Say I do a challenge for amoxicillin on Friday - and it is successful, would I then need to start the treatment asap? So there is no break between when I took the amoxicillin and treatment?

Thanks in advance.
