Failed eradication even after quadruple and levoflaxicin based therapy
Posted: Sat Sep 25, 2021 7:38 pm
Background
I have had 4 treatments for H pylori over the last 10 years. I have visited two prominent Gastros' in Singapore , and after failure of a bismuth containing quadruple therapy, the gastro has prescribed a levoflaxicin based triple therapy.
Despite this the H PYLORI has persisted, and is giving me a peptic ulcer with daily pain and frustration. I am taking a high dose of probiotics to restore gut health, but it helps only partially
I am beginning to assume that i have a ultra-resistant form. I know that culturing the bacteria is the next step. But if that does not work, what are my options?
Please help
