I took Keflex for 30 days, which seemed to have resolved the problem, and then it came back again. I took another 30 days of Keflex and I have not had any problems for almost nine years now. However, I am currently dealing with functional dyspepsia; I have hypothyroidism, and chronic pain syndrome. Next, I will be tested for gastric emptying. I was being tested for colon polyps when diagnosed with the functional dyspepsia. Was this comment helpful?Yes

Dr. Frank Tovey has shown that diets do influence the pathogenicity of H pylori. While working as a general surgeon at Holsdworth Hospital in India he observed that persons eating a staple diet of village ground millet had few ulcers while those eating rice and wheat flour had many. Subsequent research has shown extracts from these grains protect against NSAID induced ulcers and even promoted healing. His work has largely been ignored but it shows great hope in reducing the reliance on antibiotics. Was this comment helpful?Yes

I had this problem in 2009, after have a perforated ucler. Afterwards I took the strong medication for the H. Pylori. It got me all sick, and messed up my nervous system. Now my doctor is telling me I might have it again. I'm nervous about it. I just don't want to take all those drugs again. Was this comment helpful?Yes

My Helicobacter Pylori was treated with metronidazole 500 mg, clarithromycin 500 mg, pantoprazole 40 mg, metronidazole 500 mg, and amlodipine besylate 10 mg. I still have problems with my stomach at least once a month and the pain is unbearable. What else can be done to stop the recurrence so often? Was this comment helpful?Yes

The antibiotics prescribed to me only worked temporary so I looked for a natural cure and came across an herb that totally eradicated the bacteria in days, after suffering from h pylori for almost a year. The herb is called mastic gum it is a resin from a tree and has been used for stomach problems for years. It works by getting through the stomach layer to the bacteria which is imbedded and hard eradicate by antibiotics. Then I followed up with probiotics. I have never had any more stomach problems since. Was this comment helpful?Yes

If you are not opposed to marijuana, it will help take the pain away, it also helps to pass whatever is in the bowel immediately. It is the only thing I have found to get through the day. Medications have never helped. I have recurring H.Pylori. After my C-section, mass amounts of antibiotics, I was great for 10 months and then it set in again. I'm not trying to promote marijuana, but it does help take the pain away immediately. I am going to try that Gum herb you spoke of to see how that works, because the marijuana doesn't get rid of the H.Pylori.
