H-pylori without an ulcer
by pixie13, Nov 19, 2002 12:00AM
I have been having "attacks" of severe abdominal pain for about 3 years. The pain is between the navel and mid chest. I recently had an endescopy and biopsies that confirmed h-pylori,but not an ulcer. My Dr. does not think the hp is the source of my pain and has ordered ERCP to check for a stone. I had my gallbladder out 15 years ago. He prescribed PrevPac to treat the hp and I feel so much better. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience?

I too was told I had hpylori and no ulcer. I had severe pain right under my rib cage in the front for 6 months. I had an endoscopy, colonoscopy, hyda scan, gastric emptying study, upper GI series, CAT scan and they found nothing. I was miserable. After the H Pylori was cleared up, I still had pain. They started treating me for stomach spasms and I started getting better using LEVSIN for spasms. Through all of this I couldn't eat so I lost 50 lbs in the 6 months. I finally leveled off and am 90 % back to normal. Good luck and keep us posted. TLynn
