Like I said, the prescribed treatment seems to be working for me. I was told that if the condition is not completely gone after 2 wks treatment, then you must take the drugs for another 2 wks.
If you have a diagnosed case of h. pylori I am assuming it was diagnosed by a gasteroenterologist. A blood test isn’t sufficient. You need the gold standard, a biopsy.
If you really do have h. pylori you need that acid inhibitor and a course of antibiotics. H. pylori is a bacterium and the cure is simple. Go to a specialist. Otherwise you could get some nasty complications.
Pepcid,Zantac,Prilosec....I think they all work in pretty much the same way and I think they're all "pump inhibitors".
