What causes the bacteria to reoccurr?
by TimC., Sep 02, 2002 12:00AM
I have been treated numerous times for the H-pylori bacteria. I have suffered with ulcers in the past. In June I was re-infected with the bacteria... took the 2 week regime of medicines and now I can feel the symptoms returning. Is there something that I am possibly eating that is causing the return of the bacteria so soon? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am not looking forward to 2 weeks of medicine again so soon.
There is a great deal of anecdotal evidence that they help offset recurrences, though no medical confirmation as far as I know. Might be worth a try, anyway.
