H Pylori Test positive

My H pylori blood test was positive so started treatment today. It is kicking mu butt. Literally!! Only 12 more doses to go. Hope I feel better soon.

I felt so much better once it was done! I have had chronic constipation and for the first time in my life I became regular and have remained regular since. I was fairly hesitant to take all those antibiotics, however for me it definitely changed things for the better in my digestion/colon flora.

I ended up very sick so I am thinking I had a but of gastrointestinal not the med. My Grandson had it last night too. I am going to wait until next Saturday and try again. I have taken all those med before and never got sick like that. I have been sleeping and sipping water this morning so I really don't think it was the med. I will see what happens next week ?

Hi ronshoneygirl.

I too tested positive and had to do the treatment. It is horrible. However, once it was over, it was over. I did the breath test that is a piece of cake, nothing to it. And my results came back negative.

The pepto was the worst for me. Tip...rinse your mouth after the pepto anything left in your mouth turns black and so can your gums and tongue (only temporary). Also one of the antibiotics can turn your teeth grey the one that starts with tetra something. The doctor or pharmacist did not let me know that. Mine aren't too bad but they definitely aren't as shiny and white as they use to be.

Good luck with the treatment.
