Hi everyone

I have been diagnosed with HP about a month ago. I was also found to have a very large and deep ulcer. I was treated with a HP pack for 7 days and felt fantastic - the best that I have felt for a Long time. Now symptoms have been returning. I have an appt to see specialist in two days. I guess my question is;

Is a 7 day treatment enough?

And my symptoms are; i go hot and cold and sweat, i also get freqent bowel motions, i am burping and feel very nauseas.

Are there any questions that I need to ask my specialist?

Thanks

Tracy

if you have ulcer, you will have to take PPI until your ulcer is completely healed.

7 days of antibiotic treatment is 80% successful, but depending which country and area you are from (due to resistance).
