Hi Carolyn, <br> Which doctor is treating you for this bacteria...your surgeon or your pcp? If it's your surgeon, I would see my pcp.<br> Bacteria in the blood is from an infection somewhere else in the body. It could be that the antibiotic the doctor is giving you is not getting rid of the underlying infection. You need to have test done that will get at the basis of the infection. Have you been sick otherwise? Do you have any painful or tender areas that you've been ignoring? You really do need to have this evalutated further. <br> Hope you feel better soon. <br> Linda

to add to the others... the H-pylori bacteria can show up positive in your blood for years after treatment. After you take the antibotics your MD should test you with a breath test since the blood test would be inaccurate.

I have the bacteria problem in the blocked off section of my bypassed intestine. After years of being on antibiotics, I discovered liquid colloidal silver and am gradually coming off antibiotics. I ordered it $25 for a gallon from the website www.rharrisinc.com. And, no, you won't turn silver from taking it in this form. Pharmaceutical companies want you to think that but I've talked with people who have used it for over 10 years and they are fine. It kills the bacteria and my quality of life has greatly improved.
