Should I treat it.
by suzanne1280, Jan 26, 2003 12:00AM
I was prescribed the PrevPac because the MD said I had an ulcer. So I took 2 doses and then I vomitted and had diarrhea so I stopped taking it. They then switched me to amox prevacid and flagyl instead of biaxin. I am just wondering do I have to treat the H pylori. Would it be okay if I just took Prevacid. They only did a blood test and said it was positive. Don't all people have positive H pylori tests? Should I continue to take this new regimen or can I just see if the Prevacid 30mg BID works on its own.

Antibiotics have a nasty side-effect of killing off the bacteria in your colon. Eating yogurt will help fight the nausea and vomiting. It's like giving your sick E. Coli super-vitamins (they eat the acidobaccilus)
