If my results are positive, what would be my physicans next course of action be? As the Dr. stated further antibiotics would result in low percentage of eradication.

Re: H.pylori 3rd Tx. ??
can you ask your doctor to get antibiotic sensitivity test? find out exactly what antibiotic is your h. pylori is resistant to before any more antibiotics.
Re: H.pylori 3rd Tx. ??
I will be asking the Dr. if a sensitivity test has been performed or if one can be performed.
Is the sensitivity test not a standard procedure when dealing with this bacteria?
Thanks for your reply.

it's a recommended procedure, but due to the cost, most doctor will not recommend.

Re: H.pylori 3rd Tx. ??
it's hard to say. did you do a follow up breath test last time to make sure it is successfully eradicated? if it survived last time and has been in your stomach quietly, then it may be resistant to antibiotics.
if it is a new infection, then it will be from your close one. what antibiotics have you taken and are you taking now?
