Helicobacter Forums

I was diagnosed with h pylori through blood test. I had a scope and biopsy. Haven't got biopsy back yet. Scope shows gastritis. I was on high doses of nsaids for another condition when I started having constant nausea. I'm completely off nsaids for 2 months and started triple therapy for 10 days for h pylori. I have 1 day left of antibiotics. I've been in pretty constant nausea this whole time. Anti nausea meds have done little. I don't really have stomach pain it's just always feeling nauseated. Is this something that will eventually get better? Feeling a little hopeless

Yea, NSAIDs can cause gastritis.
If you had never been treated for H. pylori, then the blood test result is probably true positive.
what about your general blood test result? is your iron level good? H. pylori is associated with iron deficiency. Hopefully that's the reason for your nauseous symptom.

I dont know if they tested my iron. I will ask my dr about that. Can h pylori and gastritis by themselves just cause nausea?

What blood tests shows iron level? I had a cbc and cmp done a month ago.

My Dr did iron test yesterday. Results are normal for Iron, TIBC, and Ferritin

nausea is not a typical H. pylori symptom.
But it may indirectly cause it.
Anyway, let's try get rid of it and hopefully your nausea symptom can improve.
