Does H. Pylori lead to stomach cancer?
Digestive Health | Last Active: Aug 20 8:36am | Replies (145)Comment receiving replies
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 was wondering if the talicia helped you?? I’m also on talicia myself right now
I also suffer from HPylori. I am not on this med but interested in responses to see if it helps
So basically what you’re saying is all of your tests are coming back negative but you still feel as if you are positive?
I was treated with amoxicillin-clarithromycin-lansoprazole for 14 days and that cured my H Pylori. I was tested for it during my EGD and it came back negative.
Hi I have significant abdominal sensitivity and had a terrible reaction to one day of quadruple therapy. Wondering if anyone has been treated with IV antibiotics for hpylori.
I had it back 2 or 3 years ago after going to digestive doc for 10 years with nausea , unable to eat hardly drink anything the last month my hair fell out . I requested Doc change he did endoscopy said must be meds but did not do biopsy, he retired so I got new Doc she heard my symptoms and knew right away did blood test positive , 2 antibiotics gone in few weeks
Symptoms went away I felt like new person I could eat nausea gone.
I am staring to have some stomach issues again going to ask for test be sure it’s eradicated. Great info it heard that kind of treatment
Mine was 2 antibiotics
The gastro is suggesting a referral to discuss possible iv treatment options
I am trying to find out if this treatment option might possibly be available at Mayo

I had it back in 2018 and was put on 3 antibiotics which cured it. Not a big deal.
