Does H. Pylori lead to stomach cancer?
Good afternoon to all, My husband was recently treated for HCC with chemotherapy and radiation. He was recently treated for H Pylori bacteria. in a month he will need to take a breath test to see if the bacteria is gone. I know that this type of bacteria can cause stomach cancer. Has anyone diagnosed with this bacteria led to stomach cancer? Any information on this topic will be appreciated. I fear that he has stomach cancer due to some of the symptoms listed. Hopefully I am over thinking this.

Good to be here guys
Here is a story of my experience.
Hi guys!! New update and what i discovered.
The last time i posted on this issue, i stated that i took flagyl and got huge relief for one day and then it came back. The past few weeks have been hectic for me as it got worse. These are what I discovered:
First, my eating habit is very poor.
2, I was having chest heaviness especially after eating. It feela like I had a sore/wound in my osoephagus.
3. I have had 2 refluxes while sleeping in the past.
4. At a point when i drink water, it was like the water passed through my heart. Which means a wound in the throat.
I consulted people and went to the doctor. They all said it's ulcer. I agreed with them cos of my past experiences with refluxes and acidity.
In order to confirm my ulcer, i went to do blood test which confirmed I had H.pylori bacteria. I have started using the right antibiotics and I am getting huge relief. I also identified some food triggers like pepper, acidic food like oranges etc makes life worst. I have cut them off until my esophagus heals.
In summary, if you know you have a poor eating habit, then this mysterious shortness of breath is linked to GERD, Ulcer, reflux esophagitis and the other of its families.
Omeprazole/proton pump inhibitor also played huge role.
At the end i bought the complete ulsakit drug which contains omeprazole and other two antibiotics which works better than flagyl for matters regarding stomach and intestine.
I hope this helps someone outhere.

3 ReactionsHere is the drug, my doctor prescribed me.
The most annoying thing about my case was that i was having chest tightness/pressure that looked like angina/heart related stuff. This was esophagus spasm due to my damaging esophagus.
I feel really great now, my body is healing
Kid Prodigy, I would be interested to know all your symptoms. I have been diagnosed with GERD and have come a long way since all this first started in May 2019. Been on Omeprazole 40 MG twice daily almost a year now. I still have chest heaviness and difficulty at getting that free breathing feeling and yes alot of times it is after eating but no always. I had a sinus infection 2 weeks ago and was given an antibiotic and I swear I almost felt normal again. But here we are 2 weeks later and feeling the same.
Your ULSAKIT is very similar to the generic "Prevpac" triple therapy I am currently taking. See my previous reply to this thread for details on the exact drug cocktail and dosing instructions.
My H. Pylori infection symptoms can be summarized as follows:
* Burning, gnawing stomach pain (which peaks late at night and upon waking in the morning when I haven't eaten anything for awhile)
* Extreme nausea, upset stomach
* Excessive deep belching after meals
* Loss of appetite
* Unexplained weight loss
* Chronic fatigue
* Depression / suicidal thoughts
* Low-grade fever (i.e. <100 degF)
* Chills
* Night sweats

1 ReactionGo for the bacteria test for a confirmation and change your diet
This is what 1 day of the 10-day Pylera (bismuth quadruple therapy) treatment regimen looks like. I’ll take 3 capsules with meals 4 times per day in addition to 1 capsule of omeprazole 2 times per day. Each capsule contains a combination of tetracycline, metronidazole and bismuth.
BACKGROUND:
I was diagnosed with a Helicobacter Pylori (H. Pylori) infection in my stomach back on July 1, 2020 after nearly a year of living undiagnosed and in constant pain.
Since receiving a diagnosis, I've taken multiple rounds of combination antibiotics therapy for my infection. They include:
2 x 14-day rounds of clarithromycin triple therapy (generic PrevPac)
2 x 10-day rounds of Pylera (bismuth quadruple therapy)
1 x 14-day round of bismuth quadruple therapy (generic Pylera)
Though my health has improved about 60%-70% since completing almost 9 weeks of treatment, I've decided to continue with therapy until the H. Pylori infection is fully eradicated.
My GI specialist just prescribed a 14-day round of Talicia therapy which I will begin taking tomorrow. Talicia was FDA-approved in 2019 and just launched in the US market back in March 2020 so it's a relatively new drug.
QUESTION(S):
1. Has anyone suffered from an H. Pylori infection? If so, what combination antibiotics therapy did you use to fully eradicate it?
2. Has anyone taken Talicia therapy? If so, was it effective and what were the side-effects?
Thank you for reading this post and providing your helpful feedback!
I had it back in 2018 and was put on 3 antibiotics which cured it. Not a big deal.
