H Pylori
Hi All,
I tested pos. for H Pylori. I picked up the meds for it this evening and it is quite overwhelming. I have to take 21 pills a day, some with food, some on an empty stomach some 2 hours before or after antacids, some no dairy. I am really not sure how to space these out and still eat 3 meals a day and get more than 6 hours of sleep a night.
Has anyone else tested + for H Pylori, do you have any suggestions and did you have many side effects?
Thank you in advance.

Hi, I had it but I didn't have to take 21 pills.. I was given the hp PAC it was easy to use. Maybe u could ask for it instead of doing the 21 pills.. when I got up in the morning I took the antacid pill had to wait 30 mins before eating.. I would take the Antibiotics with breakfast, then again at dinner time before bedtime I took the other antacid. The treatment did give me upset stomach and also bad yeast infection
Referral received at hrrh Nov6/14, orientation March23/15, surgery April 11/16
I have to take 2 antacids 4 times a day (this is 8 of the pills I am talking about), then Lansoprazole twice a day, tetracycline 2 capsules 4 times a day (on an empty stomach, no antacids or dairy within 2 hours of taking, no laying down for 30 minutes) and Metronidazole 1 capsule 3 times a day (with food).
I have it figured out if I start at 6 am and go to bed at midnight, take different pills every 2 hours between 6 and 12, and eat at 8 am, 2 pm and 6 pm I should be able to do it.
It is only 2 weeks not the rest of my life, I was very overwhelmed at first but when I sat down with a spreadsheet and told myself to suck it up and figure it out I did.
Thank you for your response.
