Helicobacter Forums

I'm already on second day of antiobiotic course.

"Try-and-treat" is pretty common usage for H. Pylori eradication. In spite of my stool test was negative, the doc gave me standart triple theraphy. That was 2 years ago. I think that's how things go on in Turkey. Lol. He said that H. Pylori cannot be seen easily as I said before. I saw tons of false negative results in here. Never get UBT. But my stool and blood tests were negative for H. Pylori. I know a man who got x3 negative blood results and still got H. Pylori infection.

And also, UBT is pretty expensive in here. This is why I started standart triple theraphy with sacc boulardi and milk kefir. At least, I'd like to hear your recommendations about sacc boulardii, milk kefir and bismuth salt for increasing eradication rate.

If my nausea symptom never goes away after 14-days course, I'll definitely get UBT after 4-6 weeks.

I also think that, levoflaxacin-based theraphy would be better in here. Cause that bug has highly resistance against CLR. I read that 10-days PPI, AMX and LVX theraphy is better than it nowadays.

I'm just asking. Please let me know when you think about it.

Just found these,

It seems levofloxacin-based 7/10 days theraphy serves better results than standart 14-days triple theraphy due to low-resistant against levofloxacin. It also has lower side effects and takes a shorter time.

Well, lost 20 kgs around. All blood tests are ok. Got ultrasound and that was ok. No prob at all. Just mild gastritis but still nauseous all the time. PPIs did not help me at all.

Update.

It's weird fact but I'm getting better. I'm on 7th antiobio course. I really feel energic and I have not constant nausea. Just slightly nauseous sometimes, it does not matter.

Hoping that those antiobios are killing the bug in my stomach. By the way, I do not take bismuth but sacc. boulardii with milk kefir for higher eradication chance and less sides from antiobios (%0 sides from antiobios, it seems) Lansoprazole 30 mg, amoxicillin 1 gr and CLR 500 mg, all twice daily.

I also added bismuth 200 mg twice for last 6 days of antibio course.

I'll update.

I also will get UBT definitely after course as I said before.

My appetite gone berserk but feel nauseous from time to time. But not worst.

Just want to clarify, once infected with H. pylori, you are forever infected until you take antibiotics to kill it.
