Husband had gastroscopy on 23/10/13. Biopsy taken but not got results yet. Gastroscopy showed h pylori gastritis and a presence of excess bile in the stomach. Triple therapy antibiotics prescribed (lansoprazole, amoxi and clarithromycin), he says he feels a lot better, but i'm worried sick. He says he still gets an ache but it comes and goes and is not constant, he says that certain foods seem to make him feel worse, am I right in believing you can eradicate the h pylori but the gastritis takes time to heal?
He is 38, heavy smoker, 4 months teetotal, but was drinking and taking cymbalta without any ppi relief at the time. He's been stressed lately as have I but I wouldn't be so stressed if he hadn't tried to convince me he had cancer!
