H-Pylori
Hello, My name is Jessica and I have a had a horrible stomach infection which is called H-Pylori and since then can't eat certain foods will made me very ill vomiting, diarrhea and nausea and that was the very beginning of that horrible stomach infection. It has been very stressful these past 8 months of dealing with this stomach infection. I have completed the course of very strong antibiotics and being tested for everything having an empty study done on my stomach to a colonoscopy and scope and waiting for my second study to be done on my stomach but at this point I am done with wanting to be tested but I know if I don't it might not help with not having the answers I need. I have talked to my GI doctor about still having trouble eating after having H-Pylori and have been recently tested again which came up positive but then when I did my scope it was negative so also very confused on that part. I am now at the point I can't eat normal food which is basically anything that's not gluten free or sensitive to my stomach which is starting to be anything really, I can't eat which is very stressful because I want my life back before having H-Pylori! I am wondering as now been diagnosed with gastritis is the reason I cannot eat anymore or is there other reasons you may think as to why typical foods are bothering me? I am ready to have my life back and not always sensitive to what I eat as my GI doc told me I should've been able to eat normally again and can't life just suck's! If anyone could give me some input, I would be highly grateful as now when I eat foods, it just makes me feel ill for days as I don't throw up anymore, but I do feel like I have to most of the time with not eating or eating very little foods. I just want to know why I can't eat anymore and what's actually going on with me as I am mentally drained at this point and ready for my answers. Thank you, Jess

Hi everyone! I just got my results back and tested positive for H. pylori. I’ve struggled with chronic gut issues my whole life, and I suspect this infection is a major driving force behind them.
Has anyone here successfully eradicated H. pylori using a natural protocol? I want to be smart about this and ensure I’m actually eradicating it, not just suppressing symptoms. Thanks!
@br03 - so you could connect with others also talking about H. pylori, I merged your post with this discussion:

Hoping others such as @midnightstar1001 @sunflower1956 @hopeful33250 may have some thoughts for you.

Hey
I could really do with some help as well. I was fine, a slight bit of discomfort when eating or with my medication that I take for epilepsy (which I have always had to take with milk) I couldn't take them without milk because I would get really bad heart burn and feel so nauseous even with heart burn medication a nausea tablets nothing helped.
2 months ago ( so in May 2026) I had an endoscopy done, they found that I have a hiatus hernia and H Pylory bacteria in my stomach, they gave me a months supply of antibiotics ( I was taking 1000mg of azithromycin daily) I was also given a 20mg PPI tablet to help and nausea tablets. I took every single tablet as directed etc. I went for a follow up check up with the refering doctor, he never suggested that I go for another scope even after I explained to him that I am still eating a very little ( smaller amounts than a baby serving) so he upped my stomach medication from 20mg twice a day, to 40mg twice a day for 2 weeks then come down to 40mg once a day the problem with that is that if I dont take them with Nausea tablets I can’t eat because every thing comes back out again and I am still living on porridge and boiled apples in very small amounts. Is there anyone that could help me or give me some advice as to what I should do.
