Helicobacter Forums

Is Dr. Barry Marshall using live good strain of H.Pylori bacteria for curing allergies? I have heard him developing some new product related to it. Is the product available in the market?

The research is still in progress. It’s not on the market yet.

I just researched this and here is the link:

I have too many allergies which makes my life even more difficult. Sublingual immunotherapy has not benefited me yet but it has been a relatively short time that I've been trying it. I would love to be able to play outside with my kids among the grass and the trees, but am pretty much indoors during 3 seasons out of the year due to terrible allergies.

I would love a cure, but H. Pylori has not helped me at all through these past decades so not sure how it could help me later!

hmm... i am afraid it will be most beneficial to children, when the immune system is still learning. less beneficial to adult, as the immune system is already established.

So the endoscopy was negative for HP, no inflammation or gastritis observed. Although, I was having some of the symptoms of HP. This endoscopy was done almost 2.5 months after stopping antibiotics for sore throat, maybe the Amox/Augmentin + Metro killed/suppressed it which is why all the tests are negative. After the endoscopy, I started taking all the natural supplements that works against HP, alongwith probiotics and biofilm disruptors. Also, soon after the endoscopy, I took the HP antibody blood test two times, first test was IgG with a value of 0.27 which is negative. Anything under 0.89 is negative according to the LabCorp test. The second blood test I took after a week, IgG had increased from 0.27 to 0.32 but still below 0.89 which means negative. Do you know why it increased from 0.27 to 0.32? Also on this second test, I did IgM and IgA both were negative as well. Is my immune system not detecting the HP or did I take antibiotics quickly within a month of contracting HP and killed it off which is why my immune system did not get a chance to respond to it and create the antibodies?

the increment of your antibody from 0.27 to 0.32 is insignificant. every batch of test will have some technical errors. In addition, blood test is very accurate for negative result. So i believe you are now free of H. pylori.

Since your endoscopy has shown no inflammation, your symptoms are probably not related to H. pylori and inflammation. Your stomach probably need more time to adjust to a condition where there is no H. pylori. Gradually it'll improve.
