Still feel unwell after Helicobacter Pylori Treatment

[Andsorses]

Hi,

I had symptoms for about 2 months, nausea and upper abdominal gwaning feeling, plus appetite affected and had waves in the day feeling generally unwell , I think it was brought on due to a stressful situation. I went to the doctors and tested positive for helicobacter pylori. I have completed the 7 day treatment (Triple Therapy.geometry dash breeze) I was on 400mg Metronidazole 3 times a day, Amoxicillin 500mg 3 times a day and Omeprazole 2 times a day. I've been off the medication for about 11 days. I have waves of extreme tiredness, abit sickly feeling, sick upper abdominal feeling, tounge doesn't look right, been given thrush treatment for this. And also I have waves of soreness and swelling feeling in the upper stomach. I have lost a bit of weight, a few pounds. I have been off work for a month in total and am wondering if I will ever get my health back?

I take probiotic tablets, Manuka honey, peppermint tea, abit of yoga, walking, plain foods. But admittedly at times I do feel a little bit destressed when I have waves of not feeling so good. Everyday is a battle at the moment. Plus when I go to the loo, last week my stools were acidic, this week a slight improvement, but not normal. The doctor just said they can retest in another 3 weeks. But sometimes I feel so ill.

Any advice in a positive way forward?

Hi,

Thank you for sharing your experience. While your symptoms could be related to an H. pylori infection, they may also have other causes. It sounds like you're going through a challenging time, and I’m glad your doctor recommended retesting in three weeks, which is a good step forward.

In the meantime, practices like yoga, honey, tea, and probiotics may help you maintain your well-being. Engaging in activities you enjoy can also be a great way to foster positive energy and lift your spirits.

Wishing you all the best on your journey to better health.
