I've had problems with my stomach for almost 4 years now. It all started after catching a horrible diarrhoea that lasted for about 3 days when I was abroad (i live in sweden). After that i've had all kinds of different problems with my stomach and had the triple therapy (antibiotics combination) for helicobacter twice and it hasn't become better. I got perfectly well during the time I was taking the drugs (7 days treatment, nexium hp it's called in sweden) but the eight day the symptoms were pretty much back in an instant. However this triple therapy is the only thing that has really made a big difference (i've taken a lot of different medication during these 4 years). I've felt perfectly healthy during the therapy period, and as I said the 8 day the problems were back.


I also got lactose intolerant after this(!!?). The doctor keeps telling me the helicobacter value is too low to be causing the problems but since they can't find anything else wrong with me i'm guessing hp is still the issue. I wonder if a stronger and longer treatment could solve it? My main symptoms are that i'm constantly bloated to the maximum and my toilet visits aren't anything like before. They have a sticky texture and are not at all solid. I also have a bad acne on my chest and back, i'm 23 years old.


I've read that the following things might help: astaxanthin (said to be the strongest natural antioxidant there is), dgl tablets (i have no idea what this might be in sweden), and mastic gum. If anyone knows something I should do or try, please share your experience.
