Has anyone been treated for Helicobacter Pylori infection.?

I was feeling bad the last 8 or 10 week not anything specific just down final I stared to get a pain real low down in my stomach and went to the doctor. Long story short she done some blood test and started me on a treatment for H Pylori infection and it has made me feel like crap im so tired and run down. Has anyone else had treatment and how did it make you feel. The antibiotics I wad prescribed are Flagyl 400mg twice daily KLacid 500 mg or 250 mg twice daily cant remember for 7 days and Losec 250 mg twice daily. Should I go back to the Doc ??

Ive been down the same road as you, with me it was couldn't eat my food properly, had the Helicobactor pylori treatment for seven days, but didn't do much for me, went back to the doctors, he referred me to the hospital, had a camera down my throat, and they discovered i had Barrets disease, i am still under the hospital, and go every 6 to 8 months to have a check with the camera, they say if everything is ok next time i go. they will test me every 12 months, since they diagnosed me properly, i'm doing great, eat and drink what i want, i have to take one Omeprazole (20mg) every day, you don't have to worry, just go back to your doctor and tell him whats happening to you, and if he's any good, he will refer you to the hospital, this barrets disease i mentioned isn't serious, its just that you have slight chance, and i mean slight, of catching stomach cancer, that why they do the camera regular, so don't worry, i'm felling absolutely great, and i'm 65 next week, and feel 45, good luck to you, hope everything turns out as it has for me.

Hi,

I was treated for this 2 years ago, I had a week worth of antibiotics, I can't remember what they were called but they were same as are given to alcoholics ?!?!? It didn't really affect me cos he also gave me anti-sickness tablets with those and I was also given Omeprazole to take on a long term basis just to combat the sicky feeling

I just can't tell you how great I felt after about 2 weeks - hope you feel better soon!!!

yes go back,i had the same treatment twice and failed to cure it.H Pylori is a nasty bug which thrives in acid a lot of people have it and some have no problem.However it is known to be a major factor in stomach cancer and lymphoma.I developed Barrett's oesophagus and am now in serious trouble so go back and back and back to the doctors until you feel OK

hi sorry to hear your not too well at the moment but i promise you that you will feel so much better very soon. I had this about 7 years ago and after all the treatment was finished i ate really well put on a little weight as i was so under weight. I never had any more pain or acid build up. Just let your body rest take it easy and let your body heal. If at any time you feel that you need to see your doctor then do so, even if it is to put your mind at ease.
