I agree that antibiotic sensitivity test is the best way to go

Hi Helico_expert
Is it possible for this bacteria to come back in a few months after successful eradication with antibiotics and ppi?
I got this bacteria last year and went through 2 different 7 day antibiotics +ppi treatments. Finally in March this year my stoll test for the bacteria was negative and just to be sure I did another stool test in May which was also negative. The acidity symptoms gradually reduced and for the last 2 months I was back to normal
However last weekend I probably had more than usual restaurant food which caused Indigestion but this has calmed down although I am now having mild acidity again. Feeling the acid reflux in the chest area. Trying to manage with antacids.
I am hoping its not the bacteria again and it will settle down soon

Hi,
It's actually very hard to get H. pylori back.
H. pylori is sensitive to many things (eg. salt, chilli, garlic, sugar, etc) and doesnt survive well outside human body.
So we dont believe it is possible to transmit H. pylori via well cooked and spiced food.
It is possible to get it via kissing, especially in the early morning before brushing teeth.
So, just make sure you (and your partner) brush your teeth in the morning, you'll be alright.
