Take it from me the "cure" is almost as bad as the infection.

I thought h. pylori caused irritation of the stomach lining, leading to heartburn and eventually, bleeding ulcers. What was it that made the curative prescriptions to be so bad? Back in the '90s simply dosing with amoxycillin and Peptobismol concurrently for about two weeks was the first cure discovered. What did you have to take?

(Just curious, seems as though curing the infection would be better than taking Zantac or Pepcid the rest of your life?)

My Doctor prescribed Prevpak and Donnatal. 14 day treatment. I had three such treatments. It was hell. My case was bad because it was not treated early on due to misdiagnosis and my advanced age is a factor too.

It's still something of a mystery how I became infected. I eat a very good diet. Take care of myself. I'm retired so no stress.
