Helicobacter Forums

So last night was the last course of antibiotics. I had some HOT sensation inside my stomach at night for few hours but woke up wine..nausea was gone, lump in throat seems smaller, burps are back to normal and not forced and also tingling or vibrations I described are very minimal and only experienced them once today after I ate and it was just a fraction of what it normally was. Only thing is I woke up WEAK AS HECK. My nails look like they are brittled and sickly, some skin is pealing and after taking a shower for few minutes my hands look like they've been in water for hours and hours. Now I have a ulcer sensation. Its not big in terms of pain, but its just dull and annoying. I'm thinking Im feeling it again after 10 days because stomach acid is back to production. Should I stay on PPI for a bit longer to let the ulcer heal? I want to get tested, but I heard that you need to be off antibiotics for a while as well as PPIs so I dont want to keep taking them and perhaps have a test come back false positive.

Appreciate all of your help. feeling almost 80% better today and hopefully keep improving and not go backwards.

Hopefully it'll be negative for your H. pylori when you are testing it in 4 weeks. Otherwise, perhaps you will need to discuss with your specialist about doing an antibiotic sensitivity test on the H. pylori. That will improve the treatment success rate by a lot. we have been practicing such testing before treating protocol for a long time and we have a cure rate of about 95%.

Thanks for all of your help Helico_Expert,

Thanks Helico_Expert,

Today was definitely a best day so far. the vibration sensation is all but gone, had it for about 10 minutes earlier today but that was mild and only time I had it, Not a whole lot of nausea, brain fog and my mood was upbeat for the first time in weeks. Had a decent lunch which was fine, but had some hot chocolate which had me little nauseas for a bit and got my feeling of lump in throat sensation back big time with stomach cramping and feeling of bloating for about 30 minutes. then very good day and dinner at 6. My wife cooked Steak, Asparagus and Beans...felt good having an appetite back and after lunch felt even better. All symptoms were gone..it was like a magic cure for a while...then decided to have a bit of yogurt for desert few hours later and nauseas feeling came back, stomach made noises and lump in throat feeling came back. What the heck...I overloaded on yogurt during Antibiotic treatment and felt crappy then too. Going to have to not do dairy for next 3-4 days and see if symptoms go away. too early to tell what's causing the nausea and stomach noises especially if Im eating variety of food but I need to narrow it down. Never been Lactose Intolerant (I probably had more cereal and ice cream in my lifetime than 5 people combined) so not sure whats going on there. Im wondering whether I even had H Pylori at all. lump in throat sensation is not something I've had last time 7 years ago and it comes and goes so it can't be cancerous or a tumor since it disappears, perhaps either anxiety or some sort of inflammation. don't know..it seems like its below adam's apple. Stomach noises are unsual as well. No pain, no nothing..oh well...got to see a GI anyway. Lump in throat sensation goes away with eating or chewing gum, does not get any food stuck there and its most visible when drinking liquids or swallowing saliva...really weird
