Need Advice About H.pylori Ulcer Posted: 10-21-03 22:05pm
My Dr. Did a blood test for h. Pylori
bacteria after I went to her with my
symptoms. Several episodes of severe
upper stomach pain which radiated into my
back (especially after consuming alcohol),
sour stomach, loss of appetite. Turns
out I have the bacteria and now she's
offering anti-biotic treatment. What i'm
wondering about is if I need some other
tests done first to confirm that I have an
ulcer or should we just assume that I have
one since I have symptoms and the bacteria
that causes them???? She's telling me
that the treatment is pretty aweful but
it's only for two weeks. If anyone has
had the treatment or has a suggestion
about my diagnosis i'd appreciate your
input. Thanks.

I had a bleeding ulcer caused by h pylori.
The treatment was extremely awful. I
was sick day and night. However, I would
say take it. I never noticed my
symptoms... And I passed out at work.
Was in the hospital for a week and had to
have two bloodtransfusions. It is
nothing to play with. I would have
gladly sacrificed the two weeks of being
sick to avoid all of that... It was a
scary thing.
