Helicobacter Forums

Hello! I read somewhere on here that the natural therapies don’t eradicate, they just provide symptom relief!?!. I completely disagree.

I’ve been doing natural for 3 excruciating months. I cannot do antibiotics as I have Crohn’s disease and generally speaking, antibiotics will cause me a slew of issues.

I’m just now seeing improvements in symptoms.

My stomach acid is bouncing back and all symptoms are improving.

So you are telling me that mastic gum and biocidin (main supplements) and the million other supplements I’ve been using are just relieving symptoms and not actually killing the bacteria or healing my lining?

No way Jose! If that were the case, wouldn’t I have felt relief a long time ago? It was a slow improvement/healing. I feel as if I’m eradicating h pylori very slowly and my stomach acid is no longer being neutralized by it....my burps are less, gastritis is less and overall symptoms are going away.

I feel like I’m finally digesting food and it’s not just sitting in my stomach because my stomach acid is starting to resume to normalcy.

Am I completely healed? No. But it’s a night and day difference between day 1 and day 90 with natural therapies and diet.

Am I scared once I stop my remedies that it will come back, maybeeeeee because of my poor immune system, yes....but I do feel like natural is eradicating and not just simply relieving my symptoms.

Natural therapy only works for a small group of people. Actually I have no evidence of that. I only hear those claims from all those people who said it works.

"Works" is define here as successful eradication of H. pylori.

my definition of successful eradication of H. pylori is a follow up breath test or stool test that show negative result.

You should get a follow up test done even though your symptoms have improved. Your condition will only get worse if you do not get rid of the root of the problem.
