[unilever]

Hi,

I am a new member on this forum and have been suffering from H Pylori eradication aftermath for 3 months now. I read that have been suffering from H Pylori aftermath for some months now. Just wondering if you’ve healed yet? My eating habits and weights has significantly decreased after having to go through this horrible eradication therapy.

Any insight as per how to rocover from this aftermath ASAP would be greatly appreciated.

Hey ggreg,

My whole GI tract seems to be out of whack after taking HP Pac (equivalent of Prevpac). My stomach hurts some times, including pelvis and lower back. Most importantly, I am having digestive issues as well....can't eat the same food as I used to be able to. In addition, I am on two mediciences now....one for motility (to keep the food going down) and Nexium as well.

I've already tried Probiotics (as I had become Lactose Intolerant) after taking this medicence. I hope my digestive system can go back to normal without any issues....any guidance as per to speed up the recovery would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
SA

One thing I know is, after a person has to undergo lots of antibiotic therapy, those drugs kill both "good" and bad bacteria in the intestines, so while some people's natural gut flora returns to normal on its own, other people do better if they consume probiotics.  Probiotics are "good" bacteria and they help break down waste.  See, sometimes people will wind up with some constipation after antibiotics.  I have not had H.pylori, but whenever I take antibiotics, when I finish the very last pill, I drink either Acidophilus milk or eat Activia yogurt for a couple weeks.  They have the "good" bacteria in them and it restores your bowel movements to normal.  You can also get the so-called "best" probiotics at a healthfood store in a bottle, but those grocery store items of milk and yogurt do well enuff.  Also, drink plenty of water and stay active by at least doing some long easy walks around the neighborhood.  Oh, and eat enuff fiber, like oat cereal, wheat bread, and salads, bulks up waste and thus makes it easier to pass.  I don't know about any other things that might be bothering you as I am not familiar with exactly what you're going thru right now, but this little bit I've said won't hurt, in any case.
