Post-antibiotics: anything to help healing, remaining symptoms

The cure of Hp usually requires antibiotics. Other things have been tried and have a weaker effect.

Post-antibiotics: anything to help healing, remaining symptoms

Post by Atxjen »

This is my first post. Out sixteen-year-old daughter was diagnosed with h.pylori after a GI-MAP stool test early Dec. she had lost a considerable amount of weight in a short period of time despite a healthy diet (gluten, dairy, no processed foods, etc.) and good caloric intake. She suffered from stomach pain, hair thinning/loss, cold hands/feet, pale, no menstral cycle, constipation, bloating, thyroid levels were somewhat off, and iron absorption deficiency.

She is being seen by a holistic practitioner who has her taking multivitamin, iron (non-contispating kind), Vitamin D spray, rehydration drops, probiotic, Advantril (for gas, bloating), hypathamous drops (for cold, period, hair loss) and supplement powder for inflammation.

Her pediatrician had her do triple therapy (Amoxicillin, Nexium, the other antibiotic starting with a C :). Her breath test last week came back negative.

She saw a pediatric endocrinologist (who I quickly deduced knew very little about the correlation btwn h.pylori and thyroid issues

She then saw a pediatric gastrointestial specialist who ordered an abdominal X-ray. She had her do the two-day miralax and Elax clean out prior. X-ray came back suspecting she was highly impacted even after and they have her repeating the cleanse and the X-ray. Her pediatrician ruled out inflammatory disease and Celiacs via blood test.

She is miserable with constipation, bloating and hardness in her lower abdominal area. It’s like she is cleansed out, eats and it doesn’t come out, she blocks up again a few days later. post-cleanse, they want her taking 1-3 capfuls of Miralax and 1 Elax for two weeks to get her intestine and bowels moving on their own vs an enima for relief.

I have read that healing is different in everyone. We have her doing all of the above, taking peppermint gel tablets, drinking strong peppermint tea (for IBS). We also saw a dietian who is having her eat low FODMAP (strictly). It’s been hard because her stomach feels full and hurts so eating the 2200 calories per day dietian set as goal to regain weight has been hard.

is there anything anyone has done that I haven’t tried? have others had horrible constipation a month after antibiotics? Do you think it’s because her stomach is still healing? Is there anything else I should ask or request of the gastrointestinal specialist?

it breaks my heart to see her suffering daily.

Hi
Have you tried to give her probiotics? I am taking Pereterenrol. I reduced now but I used to take it twice a day for a long time.
I also have plenty if food allergies type 3 e.g. to milk protein and olive oil and intolerances e.g. to fructose. There are breath tests for intolerances like lactise, fructose and histamine and blood test available for type 3 allergies.
My fructose malabsorption got a bit better after the treatement but it made me really sick before. I could not it any fructose nor sugar for 6 months. It hped a lot though.
Putting back on weight is very difficult. Maybe you should not concentrate on putting back on weight but on enjoying food again. Trying what she likes, what does not make her sick with a food journal, having her cook her on food. For me it worked.
For my post hp diet I am leaving out as much fat as I can and all acid food like vinegar. I try to leave out soda. I am out if sugar anyway but this is also supposed to help.
Good luck!

Probiotics may be an option in this situation, indeed, because they help the stomach a lot. I am not a doctor, but I used to take probiotics, too, when I needed to take many medications. It helped me to throw up less and be more stable psychologically.
I also received treatment for hair loss, but it didn’t help at all, and I had to do a hair transplant at https://goo.gl/maps/iS5HPMLozPDjZxrJ7. Now it looks better, but it’s still weak, and I am afraid that I might lose this hair too overtime. I am not sure what will happen in the following months, but I hope I will not lose it too fast.

it appears better now, it is still fragile, and I worry that I will eventually lose this hair as well. I hope that I won't lose it too quickly, but I'm not sure what will happen in the upcoming months. run 3
