Helicobacter Forums

Hello Everyone,

I am new to the forum. I went to the doctor about a month ago and was diagnosed with stress induced gastritis with the possibility of it being a small ulcer. I was given Prilosec OTC and told to take it for a month and then come back. I will go back Monday. My symptoms have improved and mostly have gone away except the hunger pangs, bloatedness, and burping. All of those have gotten relatively better but are still present particularly the hunger pangs. Before the Prilosec, I woke up in the middle of the night with the hunger pangs but now I don't.

I am wondering if this sounds like H. Pylori? The hunger pangs are defintely discomforting but not severe. Same with the bloating or burping.
What should I ask my doctor when I go back?

Any advice would help

It is better you get a breath test. that will accurately tell you if you carry H. pylori.
