Hello all, After suffering from heartburn and reflux for some time and being given repeat Omeprazole from various GP's and lots of Gaviscon, one eventually sent me for a H. Pylori blood test and yes it was positive. I have just completed the 7 day triple therapy yesterday 
I was very reluctant to do so but was advised that this was the only cure and to go for it!!! I was ok taking the Clarythromicyn [ tasted horrid], the Metronidazole [also horrible] and Omeprazole. I suffered no diarrhoea , nausea or any other symptoms apart from being very hungry!!.....Until the 5th day... when I felt very sick, had stomach cramps and the headache from hell 
The last dose was a real struggle to get down and to stay down. Thankfully today I feel much better. I just hope this cocktail has worked for me !!
