Resistant H Pylori - 4th Treatment
Posted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 2:07 am
Thank you for the invitation to post my question. I am so grateful to you for your work in this area.
I’m a mother of 2 young children, who’s been battling H Pylori for well over 5 years. My major symptom aside from discomfort, is fatigue as I cannot seem to keep my ferritin up while this is in my body. My symptoms are getting worse after every treatment.
My history is that my grandfather died with bleeding ulcers at the age of 39. For years, I travelled the world with my job. I have always been very careful with eating and drinking while abroad. My husband and son were tested for HP and were negative.
I’ve had 4 rounds of antibiotic treatment to date (2 triple therapies 10 & 14 days and 2 quadruple therapies both 14 days) with various antibiotics. My family and I thank you for any information you may be able to share and any hope you may have for me!
