Stomach empty normal...Gastrin levels normal...the blood test however was positive (5) for H.Pylori IGA.
I did 2 weeks of antiboitics, but still no relief from the reflux.
Now to add to the fun, this morning I noticed what appeared to be a small worm in the commode after flushing. About 1 centimeter long, about the diameter of a paper clip, dark grey...and it was definately writhing around on its own power.
So...reflux that doesn't respond to drugs...H.Pylori antibodies present in blood...and now the worm.
I've called the docs office...waiting to hear back.
