Can someone provide me with some info on H. PYLORI, symptoms, treatment?

I was diagnosed and treated with a 10 day course of antibiotic treatment, no less than a week later the symptoms returned. I have moderate to severe episodes of nausea in the pit of my stomach and sometimes the pain is unbearable. I’m belching up lots of gas, my belly tends to become bloated from time to time and I’ve lost about 7 pounds within the last seven 7 months. I think i was misdiagnosed, my initial visit i was given pepcid, then prilosec for GERD which i am still taking. Should my doctor recheck to see if the H. PYLORI has resolved. Please advise.

I’m sorry you feel so bad. You sound like a classic case of H.Pylori. Those poor folks have all your symptoms and ulcer symptoms/complaints. The patients I have had contact with have had to take antibiotics for longer than 3 weeks, Usually 3 to 5 weeks. They are also given one of the Proton pump drugs (Prilosec/Prevacid/Protonix/Nexium or Aciphex) to take along with the antibiotic.
I’d call your Dr. again and tell him how you feel and ask for more treatment, and good luck , I hope you feel better.
