Helicobacter Forums

Just reporting back - finished my 2 weeks on prevpac Sunday morning. I stuck with my plan of taking the PPI on an empty stomach before a meal, and taking the antibiotics during or after the meal. That seemed to work. On a few occasions, my pill times didn't match up with full meal times, and I only had time to grab a couple cubes of cheese or similar snack to get something in my stomach so I could take the pills. When I took the pills after just a snack instead of a full meal, I did feel a bit of stomach uneasiness, but no nausea. The worst side effect was that nasty taste in my mouth that has been mentioned by several posters, but that's going away now that I'm finished.

I have my appointment with my GI doc next month for a re-test to see if the h. pylori is gone - hopefully I'll come up clear.

Thanks Expert and everyone else for your suggestions and support.

great job completing the treatment. We'll wait for your good news after the followup breath test.
