Finally recovery from h pylori and hives
Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2018 3:20 pm
Finally feeling better. It took me well over a year to find out what was happening.
I started with the hives and then found out I had h pylori. Having the bacteria doesn't cause hives itself but the damage it causes might lead to the immune reaction. After I got rid of her pylori the syptoms were bad. Fatigue anxiety hives. You name it. I took probiotics like people recommend you to take even the doctors. That's part of the problem. Your gut has not healed enough to take on bacteria like that. I finally found some people who started to heal and the consistent message is to not use probiotics ever again. I took another round of antibiotics (just for the intestines this time). Finally. No more fatigue and anxiety. Less hives. I still have to watch what I eat but I'm way better. Helico expert- please have people refer to my post when they have issues with hives. Going through all of this has made me realize that we are so behind on gut health.
Here are some tips that worked for me.
1. The first round of antibiotics has a high rate of failure. Just ask for the Pylera pack.
2. Don't take the PPIs for too long (unless you have an ulcer). Your body can't break down food and it will cause you to have other symptoms. I have chronic gastritis from the h Pylori. Try using DGL instead. 30 min before each meal.
3. DONT USE PROBIOTICS! It might be good for people with healthy guts but bad for damaged gut. Think about it. If you had an open wound would your first thought be to throw bacteria at it?
4. Diet is key. Stay away from alcohol caffeine citrus spices and chocolate. Chew your food thoroughly and try to eat easily digestible food. Things made of corn or wheat caused problema for me as well.
5. Try to rest as much as possible.
Hope this helps. I'm still recovering but 90 percent better.
