You can read my response to your other thread message and it will tell you my hx. As far as dental problems causing this is very interesting. A couple of years ago my teeth were so bad from med's I had to take,made my teeth bad. So I had them taken out after alot of root canals and infection. I'll have to ask my gastro Dr about it and I'll let you know.
Hello don't know but i have had the same thing after 2 root canals, have been off work for 5 years because of it. I have had every test done only one just came back with h pyori, am on second rounds of antibotics for 2 more weeks ,but going to check with dr. I believe this all started 5 years ago after root canals. Hope you find the answer
Interesting you would bring this up. Preface this by saying I have been having mouth and throat problems and seen numerous doctors for over 4 years, o I did have some stuff going on. Due to the chronic dry mouth and throat issues, I have developed dental issues, major.
Around last July or so, I noticed I had a sensitive tooth that is part of an upper bridge. I mentioned this to two dentists, one being a specialist, and he said I needed to get dental work done before that got infected but didn't check it. I had no typical swelling, etc. long story but, due to other health problems, went back to him later an he told me my only option was an upper denture. I went to another dentist who took an X-ray and Saudi the tooth was abscesses and needed a root canal, he thinks there is a chance of saving the teeth. Now, it starts going downhill. Oh, prior to this my ENT Doc put me on Keflex fir the tooth. After the root canal, I was put on Clindomycin, which was upsetting my stomach, endodontist told me to try and finish it due to the infection. I had made an appt to see a GI doctor and he told me to stop the antibiotic. I was one day short of finishing it. So, this was roughly in August. I started having more and more stomach and lower bowel problems. He has done about every test. I have reacted to a lot of meds. He ordered a hydrogen breath test and it showed bacterial overgrowth. I was put on 10 days if Xifaxan. I felt somewhat better but then got bad again with nausea, stomach ache, bloating, etc. he now has me on another round of Xifaxan fir 14 days. I am on day 10 and feel worse! I just did a capsule endoscopy on Friday so no results yet. Oh, I have been having problems with thick mucus my ENT or GI docs aren't sure of the cause. Sent me to see a pulmomoligists and I asked her to culture the sputum, no results yet. I am to see a GI Soecualist in San Francisco I have had to wait fir 2 months to get an appt.
Sorry, so long but I started feeling really bad after the root canal and antibiotics and I keep telling the GI doc this.
I looked at my records and I have only had 2 decent days since Christmas.
I will definitely mention this to the specialist.
Let me know if you make any progress. I have been getting worse and can hardly leave my house.
It happened to me. Straight after a root canal intense heartburn occured. It took months to diagnose H pylori infection. Without taking any treatement, pain diminished after root canal extraction. I'm gonna start eradication therapy Pylera + essential oils + honey + probiotics.
