Helicobacter Forums

Hi
So i was wondering if there is cases of eradication of H pylori and a retur to normal life , after a long treatment and multiple treatment failures ? specially if there is resistance to the cumon antibiotics used , give me some hope lol !

there are too many cases that people becomes better after eradication of H. pylori. Normally these people will not show up in the forum seeking for answers.

antibiotic resistance has nothing to do with the recovery.

the recovery is more associated with the damage done by H. pylori. Some people may feel great immediately after treatment, some may take weeks, months or years. Hopefully you'll get well soon.

Most importantly is to make sure you are now free of H. pylori. otherwise, you're just waiting for a recovery that will never happen.

I’m facing the same thing, I’m finishing up my second treatment. How successful is a second treatment? I did miss a day of dosage of my medicine in the beginning. Will that have an effect on the curation?

missing a dose in the beginning would be fine. just make sure you finish all the tablets.

by the way, what are the antibiotics given in your first and second treatment?

The first round was Pantoprazole, Metronidazole Amoxicillin Azithromycin. The second round was Pantoprazole, Amoxicillin and Clarithromycin.

your doctor is doing the right thing.


update us your follow up test result a month later.

Okay I will. What is the success rate for a second treatment? And can you still have symptoms such as green stool, stomach pains, etc after treatment.

the color of the stool is because of the microbiome change. It'll take sometime for the microbiome to come back. so dont worry. the cure rate of the 2nd treatment is over 80%, but that varies from country to country. Anyway, if you follow the protocol, you'll be fixed.

Yes I followed the protocol. I forgot to add I took Metronidazole in the second round. I took 1 Pantoprazole in the morning along with 2 Amoxicillin and 1 Clarithromycin and 1 Metronidazole all in the morning before work. And I took the same dosage at night. Hopefully I got it this time.

Also, can you have symptoms of acid reflux and upset stomach after treatment?
