Does H. Pylori lead to stomach cancer?

Howdy, Ya'all!I want to let you know that I finally have the RIGHT diagnosis. I'm on Day 10 of the 14-day treatment plan for my H. Pylori bacterial stomach infection and I feel fantastic! The abdominal pain, nausea, loss of appetite, fatigue and weight loss are almost a thing of the past. I've gained 2 lbs of body weight since I began treatment 9 days ago! I feel like I've been given a whole new body and a second chance at life!Thank you all for your support during this challenging, 10-month long living Hell that I wouldn't wish upon even my worst enemy.-kidprodigy

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?

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.

Are you being offered IV antibiotics?

Thank you. I am hoping to find out if treatment with iv antibiotics is available anywhere

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.)
