Stomach problems as result of H. Pylori

[ssddtt]

I just finished 2 week prevpak a week ago and actually I feel worse. The symptoms have changed. Originally I had bad heartburn, fullness and bloating, belching and sometimes not being able to catch a good breath. After treatment, I have minimal heartburn, bleching BUT my abdomen is in pain. It feels as if it is being squeezed and sometime crampy. This comes and goes but is very uncomfortable. Has anyone else had this experience?

I am a 57 year old female who has never had any gastro problem until I was diagnosed with H Pylori about a year ago.  At the time I had tremendous amounts of gas and bloating even after small abouts of food.I looked 9 months pregnant and had constant pain.  I was treated and and I thought it went away but  now I have the same systems but worse and I am naseous.  I recently had fibroid surgery and was tested for MSRA and was positive. I was treated before the surgery.  I also have a constant nasal drip and throat clearing. I have never had as much as a stomach ache in my life and now I am constantly aware of my digestive system everyday.

Since both are bacterial infections, is there a possibility that the superbug is responsible for  it all?   Do you have any ideas how this could just pop up like this?  

I live in Chicago and would appreciate a recommendation to  see a doctor who will spend the time to help sort this out.

If you have been on the antibiotic treatemnt for H pylori,
you may experience increased acid reflux, which is unfortunate
side effect of the treatment.  Your stomach adjust acid level
with H pylori so that when the bug is erradicated, the acid level
could shoot up resulting in more frequent hearburn.
I went through the treatment myself about a year and seven months
ago. And I had horrible experience with the side effects of
the treatment.  All of the sudden, I started to get hearburn, which I never had in my life.  The hearburn lasted good six months.  My stomach lining was damaged terribly by the antibiotics and gastritis was quite severe for about a year and
three months.  I had endoscopy done three times in a year and
seven months: last one just last month. Last endoscopy showed
healed stomach lining and I no longer feel stomach pain too much
as long as I have careful with the diet.  I am no longer on
PPI drugs although I was on the drugs for about seven months last year.
I think antibiotics and PPI drugs also ruined my intestinal flora. antibiotics may have also irritated my intestinal lining as well.  I am still suffering from very very loud water gurggling sound around my belly buttom and terrible problem with digestion of food.  I already had ultrasound test and small bowel series along with blood, urine, and stool test which came back normal but I may have problem with my large bowel and may
need colonscopy.
I am only 32 now and was only 30 when I took the antibiotics and
don't think I should be in this much problem with my health.

NOW YOU CAN see that you are not the only one...i thought that iw as crazy to feel in that way after the h pylori treatment...well now i;m taking probiotics and i feel much better but still i'm dealing with the side effects of the treatment
best wishes and stay in touch

Hey guys,

What issues do experience after prevpac? It is being one year since I went through H.Pylori treatment and now left with many side effects (I never had any problems before). I went through many possible tests and specialized doctors and nobody can confirm what exactly wrong with me.
I also tried different kinds of probiotics with no success.
Does anyone have any suggestions how to recover? What probiotics you take?


Thanks.
