@arrikanna & @arrikanna Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support
@arrikanna Thank you for telling us your father's experience. May I ask what brings you to Mayo Connect?
@collage H. Pylori can be a serious infection and it's important to gather all of the information needed. I have had H. Pylori. I did my homework and I found out that the likelihood of having stomach cancer greatly increases with the number of times you have had H. Pylori. This was disturbing news to me. I was lucky in that the antibiotics agreed with me and I was able to get rid of it with only 1 course. This is not the case for a lot of people. Just an aside, I'm sensitive to a lot of medications and these 3 antibiotics were fine, everyone is different though.
You'll notice that I added your question to an existing discussion. I did this so you could connect with members that have experience with this topic. Below I have also linked another previous discussion on the topic. You may wish to scroll through these discussions to find information and connection.

Hi ma'am. I heard this from a mutual friend. I have a major interest in infectious diseases and have ample experience handling bacterial species in both a lab setting and dealing with patients clinically. Apart from that, a lot of my family members have passed away from bacterial infections due to them not understanding how it works and not having good hospital care. Its something I am very personally attached to so I try to help other people understand and help them not feel overwhelmed and confused through this process.

I have been doing quite a bit of research and have been combining yoga with a variety of herbal treatments, dietary supplements; probiotics, fermented foods, and a change in diet. My symptoms are occasional and generally mild, depending on what I eat. I have eliminated caffeine, most dairy products, sugar or sugar substitutes, and have reduced consumption of red meat. I am scheduled for an endoscopy and will rely on the recommendations following that procedure. (H-pylori infection was confirmed by a blood test a few months ago, but I believe I have had this for about a year.)
