H pylori Postive, Very sick after taking medicine. Severe depression and anxiety

Hi 

I am 28 years old and I have had stomach pains for 5 years, we did endoscopy in 2015 and nothing was found I kept asking them for stool test and finally found I am H pylori  I lost 4 stones in the matter of 4 years and continued to lose weight. The doctors kept sending me back saying its nothing as endoscopy didnt find Ulcer. after been given Amoxiclllin 500MG taking Two twice a day, Omeprazole 20MG taken One twice a day. Clarithromycin tablet 500mg to be One a day twice a day.

I took Omeprazole 20MG in the morning before food, and ate Oats, and then I had Amoxicllin capsule 500mg one and then spaced the dosage of Clarithromycin space of 2 hours. At night i had Amoxicillin and then Omeprazole I felt very sick and did sick on the second day of having Amoxcillin capsule at 8pm and then omprazole at 9pm... I wanted to ask what diet should I be on at the moment I am only eating small meals of boiled lentils and beans. And has anyone taken these dosages that it didnt make them sick? Thank you very much sad Its been a tough ride with severe depression and axiety sad

I had h pilori and I started 2 different kind of antibiotics plus omeprazole for 2 weeks ., after that I feel better but the day I finished the doses I started with irritation of the urinary tract ., no infection . After a year this burning feeling continues .

I eat super healthy , no junk food and my sympthoms got worst , now it burns my chest and back , I thought it was my heart but all the tests shows nothing ., I feel anxious sometimes and makes the pain even worst ., so first thing , get calm and try to find yourself what Food makes you feel sick ., hopefully the h pilory is gone , you need another test to find out if this bug was got rid off . 

Some people needs one month antibiotics . 

In the endoscopy I showed mild gastritis , some they told me stop dairy products, fruit and citrics. 

Good luck and I hope you feel better soon 

at any point you feel pain in stomach stop using the antibiotics. It does make you feel like you are dying. What kind of stomach pain was there which led you to consult doc?

I don't know what country you are in but I think you need a complete work up with two or three doctors to confer.  If you live in the United States I would go to the Mayo clinic because it seems clear that if you are losing weight, something is wrong.  Good luck because I am going through a difficult time as well from stomach pain, bloating and nausea.

Hi Jluis im very sorry to hear you had to go through soo much pain aww yh did they do H pylori test on you? because I had the same issue with burning feeling?

Yh, Its a acid refulx feeling, the capsule comes back up... so was sick last night

Thank you soo much for replying im in UK we only have NHS or privater our private is as useles as the NHS they dont help iv been like this for nearly 5 years

 

You mean you were suffering from acid reflux from the last five years not stomach pain right? Whatever it is if your endoscopy did not show any inflammation, dont blame hpylori for it then. Its not always hpylori, complete your antibiotics course and if you still have symptoms look else where, it could be pancreatic insufficiency or acid reflux in general. Try using mastic gum after you retest for hpylori. 

I have been tested for that - 2 weeks ago - by blood test - I have had a lot of tests and they still don't see anything - I hurt in my right side under rib and sometimes under my left rib - and I have nausea alot.  The last thing the doctor prescribed was Doxepin - I haven't tried it yet - I am so bad with side effects of medicine - but know I need to try it.....I don't know if it will help or not.  I feel for you - it's not good feeling bad all the time!

 

Hi, I know this is the worst treatment, but this is what you have to stick with when fighting the h Pylori. I didn‘t do my first round wrong and had to go another 3 weeks!!

Drink water, then eat hot oats with first, wait a little bit and then take the meds - antibiotics first and then the stuff for the acid Reflux.. always eat oats a little before the meds..

When bacteria die it gives you terrible heartburn and that‘s why you are taking the Omeprazole.

Make sure to not eat anything that makes you bloated. Eat plain.. rice, white bread.. nothing  fatty, fried, too sour or spicy.... don‘t drink milk for the heartburn - it will make it worse. You can have kefir, sauerkraut - everything fermented,

Also don‘t take probiotics now since they will all be killed. 

But as soon as you are finished with antibiotics take probiotics and also eat clean.. and stay away from sugar. Bacteria feed from sugar

Stomach pain in general- I take calcium/magnesium supplement and that works wonders..

Yes I was tested before treatment and after treatment to make sure no h pilory ., one doctor told me even my wife might have it without manifest the symptoms only transmitting the h pilory ., 

how much intensity your stomach pain has and does magnesium help with that?

Im happy your free from it Bless you 

Sorry to hear that Debbir keep persisting and we will all make it here and get well soon. What helped me was a small journal 

Thank you very much for an amazing reply CTh, I have Omprazole and then ate weetabix and wait for 2 hours and had Amoxcillin  and then eat and then have Clarithromycin Tablet  I ate very small portions every 2 hours. I missed 3 days of 1 capsule at night for omprazole, I noticed that I waqs getting acid refulx with antibotics so I took Amoxcillin antibiotics an hour later omproazole I was sick and puked yesterday... So today I had Omeprazole 20MG (1) - Light food, Claristhromycin Tablet (1) (500mg) Omeprazole 20MG (2) so two omprazole capsules in total. No Anti botics today.

Yh, I will see what else I can do... 

You are not supposed to skip when trying to kill hpylori with antibiotics. If you cant bear it discontinue the antibiotics all together. By the way I am not free from hpylori, its better that you dont know my story yet. Just try Mastic Gum for your acid reflux.

Yh I will discues that with GP tommaro thank you and I know u can do it and get better

When will you be free??

Honestly I wouldnt take antibiotics for it ever. Antibiotics have ruined my my life. I didnt have any hpylori symptoms but docs are robots they only do what they are programmed to do that is prescribe poison even when you dont need them.
