But I may be wrong. Maybe some people don't produce antibodies against it. I'm sure I've read that somewhere actually.
I guess if you really suspect helicobacter, despite negative blood test results, then you have to go to the next stage of more invasive testing, like stool and breath test. Having an endoscopy just to diagnose helicobacter is a bit extreme.

I would go with hope instead of desperation:).mike987 wrote:Desperation.
When a test comes back negative. It means nothing. It explains nothing. It doesn't even feel like the issue is ruled out, because there are so many unknowns to the problem.
@Halitosisux then i go in extreme group, I'm doing endoscopy soon, today i got my order (i dont know how to put it in english) from my GP and for CT scan for my sinuses as well. Woah, fingers crossed, although I'm scared like hell cause of endoscopy buuut we want to be 100% sure and eliminate every possible cause don't we.

Sometimes they give other antibiotics to men there, so might be worth having a look online at what diseases/infections are usually treated with metronidazole.
Also a month or two ago I went to my Gp, and said I had tonsil pain and stones and can I be referred to ENT, but she fobbed me off with more metronidazole.

I'll never forget the moment when I rang up to find out the result of my blood test and was told it was negative. I felt an infinite despair. It was the worst 10 minutes of my life. There's no words to describe how desperate and lonely and desolate I felt. Words to even begin to describe it haven't yet been devised. Key lesson learnt - never to put all hope into one thing.
I realised just a few days ago actually, that my ulcer symptoms might have been caused by my near-constant chewing gum in my mouth and eating things like mints which would trick my stomach into releasing acid.
Don't be scared of endoscopy, it's fun, even without being sedated. Ask them to put plenty of numbing spray into your throat and before you know it the tube is down there and all you feel is the sensation you get when you're hungry and your tummy is rumbling.
I didn't have a available friend or family member to drive me so I had to go without being sedated ! 2 young blond nurses doing their best to hold me down and 1 older Indian woman pushing a rod down my throat . It was nothing short of masochistically erotic
oh yea .. it came back negative for h-py

I remember lying on my side and being able to view the monitor in the distance and trying to make sense of their medical terms. I actually tried to speak at one point to ask a question lol.
Your endoscopy sounds more like another similar experience I went through once when I broke a rib. Women all around me, prodding my chest and we were all seeming to be enjoying ourselves. It was pure agony, but I was happy for it to go on forever - until one of them got out her stethoscope and started asking me to breathe in and out deeply while she was right in front of my face. I nearly died from a broken rib
