10 years of having halicobacter pylori

Post by **priscillaroberts** » Fri Jul 05, 2024 9:35 am

I have had I think about 10 years of suffering symptoms of halicobacter pylori with either limited, or no success, through multiple antibiotic treatments. The lastest one just a few months ago when I took a combination of Clarithromycin, Metronidazole, and Nexium, despite already knowing that I was Clarithromycin resistant (why we used this still I am unsure). Symptoms remain and actually are worse. My surgeon has suggested either another scope to get cultures to grow (which they were unsuccessful in doing last time) or to see a Dr Paul Georghiou (infectious disease expert) at the Wesley in Brisbane. I'm hoping for some advice moving forward. I have suffered chronic gastritis over the years and thinning of the stomach lining is evident. I often have shown inflammation of the duodenum as well and suffer pain/tenderness under my right rib cage often. I am currently taking 40mg of Nexium daily.

Seeking any advice you may have for a treatment protocol that will eradicate the bacteria.

as per the tips mentioned
H. pylori can never become resistant to Amoxicillin and Bismuth. So patients can always repeat PPI + Amoxicillin + Bismuth + one other antibiotic.

have you tried amoxicillin and bismuth based regimen ?
