Helicobacter Forums

thanks for the update. hope you get well soon.

Alright, my final post with the forum. I have officially eradicated my h. Pylori, but I also received answers at my follow up appointment too. My gi said I have a small hernia from when I was pregnant which is very common and happens to like 1 in 4 wome i also have rings around my esophagus from acid reflux and he thinks the pain in my stomach is from a nervous system disorder called functional abdominal pain syndrome. Currently being treated with tricyclic antidepressants h2 blockers and taking donnatal as needed with pain. I will say After gaining 90lbs during my pregnancy I'm down 55 total,. And lost 30 pounds alone just from when I was diagnosed with h pylori, lol it was like a blessing in disguise! Thanks for all the advice guys and responding to my posts!

I am glad that your H. pylori is finally eradicated. Your doctor is right. Hernia is quite common and no need to be worried too much. Hopefully you can continue to visit this forum and encourage other members with your stories. As you may know, this forum is heavily biased to people with little success in having H. pylori eradicated. So, a positive story from you would be very encouraging. Lastly, hopefully your stomach and esophagus will return to normal asap.

I have the exact same symptoms as you I also got clay color stool and was tested positive for H. Pylori. I understand this post 6 years ago but did you ever find out what causing the clay color stool? Did you also get tenderness pain that starts in one area then moves to another after like a week?
