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.

Yeah that’s what they are doing they are dismissing my positive h pylori saying they don’t think that’s the problem and warning me of more antibiotics , am just not sure wether to demand them as I can’t have my gut even worse it’s the body pain and twitching that’s bad aswell also

It may, but if you’re on Prednisone, that’s likely the culprit. Muscle wasting, weakness is a side effect. I’m weight training every other day trying to offset the shrinkage! At 76 it’s hard to tone the muscles and especially with Prednisone

The gut symptoms sound like ulcerative colitis. Also possible celiac disease. (I have both.) Have you been seen by a gastroenterologist?

Im no expert on the topic but have done some research on the gut microbiome and its the new frontier in health science. Griffith university on the Gold Coast has a clinic dedicated to helping those with gut problems, im sure there are other reputable services. Your gut flora are seriously out of whack after what youve been through. The first thing you can do to help yourself is get hold of some good organic fermented foods (not the supermarket rubbish) and take a small cupful every day. L-Glutamine supplementation might help. Something that is happening mainly in Australia and sounds a bit 'out there' but is having some amazing results for people with serious gut issues is 'poo transplants' .
