my symptoms, pain under left ribcage is still there and tummy seems to bubble and make weird noises like a burb inside. Is this normal???
Hi, I'm not a medic, but I believe it can return. I've had an ulcer that perforated over 20 yrs
ago and had to have major surgery at the time, which was not nice! Not long after this the H pylori and its role in some ulcers was discovered. A while later I started having symptoms.so I went to my GP and had a simple blood test, which showed I had the bacteria again, so I had the antibiotics and then another blood test, which was negative. I was told to go back if I had any symptoms again. I think the tests are easier now, but I don't know as I haven't needed to do anything.
Anyway, a simple chat with your GP should be able to give you the information you need and do any tests and provide treatment if needed. I'd rather be safe than sorry!!!
Hi, same here. I have also taken two courses of antibiotics each time 2 different ones, but all the same still have those noises like bubbling or burbing, not sure if it is normal.
I don't think the antibiotics do more than just clear the infection when you take them, then like many other infections, if the conditions are right and the body contracts the infection again, the symptoms will return and you should see your doctor and discuss what threatment is best for you.
From my own experience of not knowing the symptoms, so not seeking treatment, until the ulcer burst and I had peritonitous, I would say to anyone, if you think you've got an ulcer, get your GP's advice and treatment. A month in hospital isn't fun! And you may not have anything wrong, so you could stop worrying!!! Good luck!!!
What antibiotics did you take ?
I did some online research and find out that H pylori is becoming resistant to some antibiotics that's why there is a possibility of reoccurrence. As for my ulcer, doctors did X-ray test and said it healed, so what is left there ? It must be H pylori, which survived.
I can't remember the antibiotics I had when I had the second infection. It was found by a blood test, It was a long time ago, I think I had two different ones and proton pump inhibitor to stop the acid forming. I still take that as a precaution. It was a fairly new treatment when I had it and I think its probabley better controlled and the test to see if you;ve got it no longer involves a blood test, but I don't know.
Metronidazole, Clarithromycin and Lansoprazole

Hi Diane although I have had a test done it came back as normal but my symptoms are still present. I am seeing my doctor on Tuesday. I don't have any pain in my arms at all. My pain is directly underneath my left rib cage but isn't there all the time but does give a feeling if being bruised. My husband has just been diagnosed with the same problem . Hope this helps. Bev
Hi diane01 and all,I was diagnosed with duerdenal ulcer 15 months ago I know it,s not H-pylori but I think it,s all to do with gut problems,I also have AF and I,m on the AFA site aswell and on there they to have the same theory sort out the gut problems and a lot of the other things will sort them selves out.Latest research shows that bad bacteria is killing the good bacteria which is causing a lot of the problems,I have had the bubble stuck in the throat feeling and nausea for months so last week we talked on the AFA site about pro-biotics so i started on them last Monday and for the last 3 days no nausea or bubble they are not cheap but feeling better is worth the money,It might not work for everybody but it might be worth giving it a try.If anybody does please let me know how you get on argzxoni

Hi diane,I use Acidophilus,Just read an article in the mail and it say,s in there that not enough people understand the gut problem about good and bad bacteria,not to say it will work but it wont do you any harm.I got them from Holland and Barrett,3 months supply for £11.99.
I had the same thing and discovered it was a side effect of the Omeprazole. Try getting of the ppi family, and switch to an h1 blocker like zantac, which is also used to treat h pylori. The ppis can cause seriosly bad side effects. I had anxiety, insomnia. aches in the limbs along with numbness, chest pain/palpitations, difficulty breathing and more. Then I looked it up, and those were all listed as side effects of ppis, including worse--far worse, like death. These meds are like poison for some, so take heed.
Thanks Stomachgirl, I am trying to get off omeprazole and the renesdine but just worried if the acid is still there it become worse??? I will try and stop it and get on Zantac.. Hope d arm pain get sorted, I also started getting the bubble in d tummy, on and off tummy arch.. Really tired
Thank you Argzxoni for your reply I will get off to Holland and Barrett tomorrow.. It's what a try... I was on another discussion page interesting information, read that Pomegranate Juice during meal is good, also to top up on supplement... This is from the page
-Magnesium Supplement
- Sublingual B12 (top up with iron rich food)....
-Bromolain/Quercetain, Nattokinase
-Zinc Gluconate 25mg daily with meal
- Vitamin Dplus K2
- Slippery Elm
Pls let me know if you or anyone knows anything thing about this supplement and if they can help.. I also heard about Bone Broth?????? Need some info.. Thanks Diane
I didn't have a problem getting off omeprazole, but I stayed on pepsid and zantac. zantac is the same as ranitidine. Good luck.
Bone broth helps line the digestive track and heal, as does slippery elm. I hear these two are the best. I take slippery elm & it helps. I'm a vegetarian, so the bone broth is out for me. L-glutamine also promotes tissue repair. Try that, but it won't work immediately, so try it for a good while. B12 and D k2 are important for the immune system. I take them. Bromelain is a digestive enzyme, and I believe nattokinase is too, by the ase ending of the word. I take a ton of digestive enzymes. I'm sensitive to zinc, but magnesium keeps you regular and regulates many functions in the body. I take that too, along with dgl licorice, marshmallow root, oregano oil, neem oil and olive leaf which are natural antibiotics, to kill off any yeast or fungi that I may have in the gut.
I had H Pylori years ago - and I believe it was what caused several trips to the ER over years - I would have stomach "attacks" I have a lot autoimmune issues and didn't want to take the 3 antibiotics - also - don't think my stomach could have handled it - So I followed my naturopaths suggestion (he was also an MD) and took Pyloricil for a month - blood test afterwards - VOILA - it was gone - pretty easily - I don't know why the medical community does not unite and use all forms of treatment to heal. My sister had the same thing - recently - we are of different minds - she took the antibiotic - it was not fun - I think she finally did get rid of it though.
In the meantime - gut health has become something that people are beginning to take seriously - I was glad to see the supplement support - You can google DR Axe and Leaky gut - he explains it and has a protocol of what to take to heal it - I had been doing it - but then accidentally ate gluten - which I am intolerant of - was sick for two weeks - and then felt better for one day and now feel like I did when I got the H pilori - hope its not back - gonna run and get a test
Take probiotics - L Glutamine really helped me so much as well. I ran out of it - that might be the problem
