Helicobacter Forums

I live in albania. And I can confirm, double confirm it should be done that way HERE according to the lame doctors

I definitely got it from fecal oral route.

Is there any other risk besides h pylori? Since fecal matter has so much "sh*t" in it, bacteria enterococus and what not

yup. there are definitely other pathogens that are more severe than H. pylori.

H. pylori is a very chronic infection. it'll take months or years to develop ulcer (depending on your immune system). Most of the time, H. pylori is not deadly. But when you are above 50 yrs old, H. pylori can increase your risk of developing gastric cancer.

other pathogen such as hepatitis or chrotridium difficiles or tuberculosis, can be far more scarier. Nevertheless, assuming you know your partner well and if he/she is generally healthy, then the risk of catching those nasty bacteria or yeast or parasites is lower.

Hi Doctor,

how do we treat the anxiety this has left behind. i have read that HP feeds on the hormone that stops anxiety and I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT I GET A RESPONSE saying this will go away. my physical symptoms are getting better little by little (14 days post 3pack treatment first one) but the anxiety still lingers and ive seen all the responses here and not alot on the anxiety unless i am on the wrong post. Thank you and PLEASE RESPOND SOON !!

I know a few people who has anxiety that has never had H. pylori. So, I am not sure how true is H. pylori is associated with anxiety. You probably need to see a psychiatrist.
