Helicobacter pylori (also know as H. Pylori)???


I have been having alot of indigestion and stomach pain lately and so I went to the doctor and I just found out that I have Helicobacter pylori or also known as H. Pylori and I was wondering if anyone else has had this and how it was taken care of and how they felt after getting medicine for it. The doctors has given me Prevacid 2 times a day, two 500mg tablets of amoxicillin twice a day and one 500mg tablet of Clarithromycin.......anyone with any type of experiences or information on this infection and/or the medicine would be GREATLY appreciated

H. Pylori is a bacterial infection that is the most common cause of stomach ulcers, and it also causes inflammation of the stomach lining.

Treatment for H. pylori infection is always part of a multiple-treatment strategy to treat the disorder caused by the infection.

Antibiotics
Your doctor will most likely prescribe a 14-day regimen of two antibiotics to eradicate H. pylori bacteria. Common combinations are:

Clarithromycin (Biaxin) and amoxicillin (Amoxil, Trimox)
Metronidazole (Flagyl) and amoxicillin (Amoxil, Trimox)
Metronidazole (Flagyl) and tetracycline (Sumycin)
It's important to complete the full course of prescribed antibiotics as directed by your physician, even when you're feeling better. Failure to follow the treatment guidelines may not completely eradicate the infection and increases your risk of antibiotic-resistant strains of H. pylori.

Your doctor may use either a breath test or stool antigen test to determine whether the antibiotic treatment has eliminated the H. pylori infection.
