are you insured? Are you near a mayo clinic!? I got h pylori and Drs kep saying i had tge flu, for 6 weeks! I lost 40 pounds in 2 months, couldnt even get water down...after 3 months and many IV hydrations in ERs, where they just sent me home after. -i was practically dead . LastcER dr said it was depression! unbelievable! of course I was depressed! 3 months no food, Iv hydration, couldnt lay down-had to sleep in a chair, lost my job, finally my last physician tested me for h-pylori, came up positive-5 antibiotics at once and 2 months later got better. Still makes me angry , esp when I hear of orhers who get it! You must see a physician who is GOOD-takes time to help you, its important! I almost died.
