@hogan_g1937 I had H-Pylori 2 1/2 years ago. I DO NOT have stomach cancer. But I can tell you it certainly feels like it. It takes a long time to get yourself back to normal. I took some heavy duty antibiotics for 3 weeks to get rid of the H-Pylori.
It is my understanding untreated H-pylori that goes on for years will cause a Malt Lymphoma Stomach cancer.
I now have severe acid reflux also known as Gerd as a result of the H-Pylori. Gerd symptoms can also cause stomach pain too. Mine does sometimes especially when I think I don't need to take my medicine. Which often I forget to take it. Then it's like BAM the massive Gerd/ Acid reflux acts like it is on steroids. Has he been given medicine for acid reflux. that helped ease some the H-pylori symptoms? I am still on a heavy dose of omeprazole today 40mg in the AM and 40mb in the PM. It took several months so you know, to feel better.
Question have you been traveling outside the USA?

@hogan_g1937 I didn't want ro eat much either when it was hurting. I lived on aloe water, coconut water and chicken soup. I couldnt drink coffee. They ended up diagnosing me with gerd when I got the h-pylori. I did not have it prior. If I did it was what they would call silent gerd. And the stomach pain went on for months. What kind od antibiotics did they give him? Now so you know when they did my retest after the antibiotics were done. It was done with a stool sample. I will tell you H-pylori makes you feel like your dying. It is beyond miserable.. It took like five or six months to feel better..

@travelgirl Good morning, no he has not been treated for Acid reflux. He has been treated for H-Pylori with antibiotics and Pepto-Bismol. He has lots of stomach pain but no acid reflux. He is experiencing lost of appetite and when he does eat he gets full with just the smallest amount of food. Praying he does not have stomach cancer. He goes to see if the H-Pylori is gone in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the response,
