chronic infection

I have been diagnosed and treated for H-Pylori 4 times in the past 5 years...I don't understand why I keep getting this. My dr. doesn't really answer questions. Even after the 2 week tx., the symptoms soon return. I've had ulcers for 12 years, however, they are gone, but a biopsy from the last endoscopy was positive for h-pylori. I did the two week tx., and feel sick again. Now my MD wants me to have a sonogram (with the dye) of my abdomen, followed by yet another endoscopy to be sure the infection is gone. I feel like I'm at a dead end. I take very good care of myself, stick to a healthy diet, yet feel like I could be doing something other than taking 3000 mgs. of antibiotics everytime I get this. I don't have much info on this condition either. I've taken acidophilous w/ the antibiotics. I feel so frustrated. Any suggestions?

You can have a simple blood test for H-PYLORI and if your docyor is not answering ALL your questions get a new DOCTOR. He may not the answers.......
