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.

Here 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

I had H Pylori and acid reflux along with a bleeding ulcer.
Don't take any ibuprofen as it causes bleeding.
No eating 3 hrs before bedtime .
Low acid diet only.

What to eat while taking tetracycline, metroDianozle,
and omerprazole

Hello everyone, my daughter began suffering from very specific symptoms 3 years ago after a trip to Mexico. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, chronic/debilitating fatigue, spontaneous uticaria wheals (skin rash), chronic acne after 2 rounds of failed Accutane. After multiple doctor visits over 3 years, too many tests to list, so many blood vials drawn I am surprised she has any blood left. WE FINALLY HAVE A DIAGNOSIS!!!! The original endoscopy showed Eosinophilic esophagitis EOE of an unknown origin. Original biopsies were negative for H. Pylori. 2 years later they did a repeat endoscopy and her biopsy is positive for H. Pylori. I am praying she will improve over the next 2 weeks. Never give up, there is a diagnosis out there, you have to keep looking.

I am very happy for you. My daughter has spent the last 3 YEARS searching for answers. She finally got her diagnosis yesterday of
H. Pylori. I almost burst into tears when the doctor called. We are looking forward to what the next 2 weeks will bring. Reading your story is very encouraging. I am praying for a new life for her. Thank you for sharing.

how long after treatment completion before being re-tested for conformation?
