DocH:
when did you take the antibiotics, before or after the test that confirmed positive for h pylori?

Some were taken last year, at different occasions. Especially when symptoms get worse.
Currently symptoms are worse but I have been managing to so as to confirm these test results without interference from antibiotics.

At a point around March, I took cefixime and Levlofloxacin, when it was as if cipro didn't work for worse symptoms.

I felt just a bit better afterwards.

But I don't like drugs generally especially antibiotics and also careful not to abuse them or develop resistance.

Lalasticlala please I am begging.. I need to start treatment ASAP.

DocH:
Hi,

I'm sorry you must be going through a lot. From the rest results I can see you're having a heliobacter pylori infection in your intestine which happens to have stayed quite a long time. It's possible you gave intestinal ulcer caused by the actions of this bacteria on your intestine. May I know the drugs you have taken so far?

Endoscopy, occult blood test, etc didn't show ulcer though.

There was a time I took Ulsa kit.
2 packs. That was at the outset. Thereafter I have taken ciprofloxacin, amoxicilin, omeprazole, abendazole and other types of antibiotics.
These antibiotics were targeted at typhoid. My widal tests --- salmonella always stays at 160
Paratyphi 160.

Thanks!

One of the ultra sound tests done at UNTH teaching hospital Enugu.

CT scan done at 55k.

Okay. Structurally everything is fine.

Same with 2 ultrasound tests done.

Hy pylori, second test, also positive..

H pylori. First one, positive.

Teaching Hospital test, one of them

DISCLAIMER:

( I am not asking for money please. Not here to scam anyone. Just need suggestions)



In the past 3 years I have spent hundreds of thousands in hospitals trying to treat abdominal pains, burning stomach radiating to my groin and at times to my whole body.

Symptoms do not respond to ppi, antacids, or any drug at all.

Pains and burning sensations are there 24 hours, eating bland diets or even not eating at all does not give relief.


I have done all routine tests. Yes all. I mean it.
I even did 2 ultrasounds, endoscopy, and even CT scans.


I have met many doctors and consultants at UNTH, ASUTH, ESUT (park lane) These are teaching hospitals.

All tests are okay and doctors have dismissed me, saying my issue is psychological. But I am not okay. I know. I am in my mid 20s.

Following my intuition last week, I did h pylori test and it was positive. (It used to be negative). I repeated it 3 days ago at different lab and it was also positive.


NOW, h pylori can cause my symptoms, maybe it's my problem. I desire treating it in the most effective way and with the best drugs.



I need suggestions from experts and experienced people here.


I have suffered so much and lost many opportunities because of this.

Please help.





MODIFIED:

Based on prescription, I treated h pylori using tinidazole, clarithromycin and lansoprazole for 7 days bd

followed it with amoxil 1000g bd and lansaprazole for 5 days.

UNFORTUNATELY, still feel worse.
