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.

I was on antibiotics and omeprozol, I will suggest to stay away from caffeine, milk, tomatoes and red meats. I m feeling better now.
Omg I didn't think anyone would reply ty I will check them out greatly appreciated!
From memory the info sheet was only what my meds were and even on the box it just says to take one or two twice a day with food or best taken 30 mins before food but nothing on side affects. wish I had kept the sheet to confirm. If it did mention side effects I would've avoided eating an orange/s sometimes with my meds bc it's the one fruit I can eat on the daily regardless of the issues going on in my stomach. I didn't know to avoid OJ and should've checked for side effects so
thank you I will double check online.
Because I still felt there wasn't much of any improvement my lovely Dr has put me back on my antibiotics for longer you're right was only for a week. By the sounds of other responses and yours too I may not be keeping away from the right foods. Your symptoms sounds like me too and will try the diet suggested. Thank you so so much for the feedback! Just an fyi because of what I'm going through I can't sit still long enough without feeling sore and uncomfortable and I'm only on mobile so please excuse me for taking long to respond back but am so appreciative for yr help and others 🙂
Glad to hear you're feeling better which means there's still hope for me! I've discovered judging from those that responded and yourself, that I'm not avoiding certain foods which could be the reason why I'm not feeling any better. Didn't know oj was something to avoid now caffeine which I have sometimes so tysm for your help! Greatly appreciated
Of course !! If you need to drink coffee I recommend Roma Kaffree from Amazon taste just like coffee and made out of Barley, or Rize (mushroom coffee low caffeine ) this one taste more like chocolate. stay well!
Does anybody who has had H Pylori infection still nauseous and vomiting?
I had H Pylori infection last July and was treated with 2 antibiotics. I felt much better, however a month later I kept waking up again hot sweating, nauseous and start vomiting. I went back to the Dr they did another test and it came back positive for Pylori infection again. I was treated with stronger antibiotics. The Dr said I was cleared with a stool sample. I started living life again. For awhile things were great, then the symptoms came back waking up hot, sweating, nausea and vomiting. By this point I have been to the urgent care 3 times and the ER twice. I don’t have H Pylori and they don’t know except see a GI Dr. I did just that I had Endoscopy, colonoscopy, cat scan and an MRI. My Liver enzymes were high so they had that tested it was back to normal. The only thing the GI Dr found was fecal matter in colon and a small Hiatal Hernia in my upper esophagus. I told him the constipation was due to all the Zofran I had been given over the last months for my nausea and vomiting. He gave me Linzess and Myralax that worked perfect.
I am at my wits end because this keeps happening to me, waking up hot, nausea then vomiting I’m getting scared because I’m losing weight and can’t seem to eat. I wake up 3 to 4 times a night dealing with this I’m tired. I sleep with 2 floor fans an ice pack a-neck fan and wet wash cloth. I don’t know what to do, so I thought I would reach out out to this group. I’m 64 female
The only thing I found for my nausea are thc gummies I can’t take Zofran, Tylenol pm.
I had H pylori once and never had nausea or vomiting. Maybe a good and experienced functional doctor can help. Maybe re check your liver enzyme.
I’ve been to a good functional Dr. I’m here for support, if you can’t provide it please stay off my post.
It looks like you have had a lot of antibiotics. From my understanding, antibiotics kill the bad and the good bacteria. If that is the case with you, your digestive tract could be in need of prebiotics and probiotics to get your digestive tract healthy again. This was part of my digestive issues that caused me indigestion and GERD. My doctor tested me for multiple causes for my symptoms and prescribed both prebiotic and probiotic capsules. She also had me make dietary changes such as reducing sugars as bacteria feed on them, adding fermented foods such as kefir (in the dairy section), pickles but only from the refrigerated section of the market, sauerkraut, no sugar yogurt ( I add stevia for sweetness).
The tests my doctor ordered were for SIBO, yeast infection, fungus infection, parasites and mold.
I wish you the best in finding answers and treatment. I know it’s very frustrating and fatiguing to find a doctor that can truly help.
