Treatment for H-Pylori? Help!
Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2017 6:24 pm
Hello everyone,
I had an account here before and I seemed to have forgotten everything about it, so I made a new one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve had bad breath since my early teen years and it’s not until now that I am finding out it is not my mouth but coming from my stomach!
This past year I have done countless things to fix it but so far nothing has worked.
1. Went to a doctor because I spat out about 3 tonsil stones, was treated for it. Bad breath still present.
2. Realized I had constant heartburn, painful bloating, my throat feels like it’s blocked and my mouth has a constant fish/metallic taste. Doctor diagnosed with GERD and prescribed omeprazole, only symptom that went away was heartburn.
I’ve read about foods that trigger GERD so I’ve adopted a Vegan diet and cut off a lot of sugary foods and have tried to eat healthy.
Now skipping to today, I am seeing my doctor soon. I am thinking H-Pylori will be the next step, has anyone been diagnosed with H-Pylori and how was the testing done? or did the doctor prescribe medication for H-Pylori right away? What symptoms did you have?
