Helicobacter Forums

Hi Helico Expert,

Iam glad that I found this forum, kudos to the creators and experts helping people deal with H pylori.

I got tested +ve for H pylor in Oct'20. My symptoms include:

• Pain in the middle part of the chest
  Feeling of stomach fullness
  burping

I started the triple therapy (amoxycillin,metronidazole,nexium) and within 5 to 6 days my condition worsened as I was having diarrhea 10-12 times a day and I stopped the treatment, post which the diarrhea subsided. Then I thought that the pain in the chest region could be due to some other issue and not related to stomache so I visited, cardio, Pulmonologist, Rheumatologist, did various tests and everything came normal. In some time I started having loose stools around 3-4 times a day. Visited the Gastro doctor and he suggested upper Endoscopy and colonoscopy.
Colonoscopy results came back normal -ve for IBD. However upper endoscopy result was "STOMACH, ANTRUM, BIOPSY --- ACTIVE NONATROPHIC CHRONIC GASTRITIS WITH MODERATE ATROPHY, NO INTESTINAL METAPLASIA OR DYSPLASIA. HELICOBACTER PYLORI ARE NOT SEEN"

Post the endoscopy, I started the Omiz+ 40mg for one month and then reduced to Omeprazole 20mg for another month. My main concern of diarrhea was stopped but I started having bright yellow colored urine, ringing ears, sleep problems, muscle twitching, jolts while trying to sleep.
After I stopped the PPIs, I again had soft stools (~4 times a day) intermittently. Its a month and half I stopped PPIs and I still have soft stools on average 3 to 4 times a day and bright yellow colored urine.

I could not understand what could the reason be, I consulted kidney specialist and did various urine exams, and everything came normal.

Can H Pylori will be in the system even when the biopsy result came negative? Can it cause soft stools (yellow coloured) and bright yellow urine?

Help Helico expert!! Your advice is really appreciated..
