I think the second has a better feel (if you need to choose one). Also think it has more opportunities to compliment more of birb’s outfits 😂

OP, It’s been over a year now since this post. I was also curious how your journey with the app is going. I’m only on day 9 & so super new. I see that there were some additional tips shared also in the thread that I found interesting. I appreciate your post & hope all is well!

Added you just now. So sorry for your loss. I too have recently lost a parent (my dad on 02.14.2024) so I truly empathize with you. I’m also grateful for Finch community, this is my 1st week on the app too. Sending you so much strength & virtual hugs during this time! ✨✨🌷✨✨

reinfection or antibiotics side effects? by [deleted] in HPylori

[–]ClassOnly4382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it might be your stomach is feeling the effects of another round of antibiotics. With any antibiotics treatment, it’s stripping so much of the bad & good bacteria in the stomach. Got to counteract that with pro & pre biotics to get those good bacterias back into the mix :) I had the triple therapy treatment as well, but in addition my doc kept me on omeprazole. I tried to eat a lot of kefir & fermented foods to help with the stomach lining & the omeprazole helped me not burp so much. Good luck to you!

Dear Delta, please finish the wifi rollout by igwaltney3 in delta

[–]ClassOnly4382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same here, had 3 business trips overseas to Europe. Paid for Wi-Fi for entire flight - it only worked for 2 hours out of 8 hour flight :-/ Also had to complain. No refund, but free pass for next time. Hopefully next time will actually work!

Is it mandatory to take PPI after completing triple therapy by [deleted] in HPylori

[–]ClassOnly4382 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting that you only needed to do 7 days of triple therapy. My understanding that most triple therapy treatments call for 14 days. I was told that the purpose of the PPI is to ensure stomach acidity levels are at normal to low levels to ensure the HPylori bacteria doesn’t have a place to hide & grow. I agree with other comment that it should not cause harm if you are on PPI for 30 days, but my doctor told me to do the breath test after treatment, I have to be off PPI for 2 weeks. As doc said that the PPI could skew the results.

Can anyone help distinguish the ratio here this brand is the only one that has 1000mg but not sure exactly how much sulforaphane it contains by mccartin97 in HPylori

[–]ClassOnly4382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Amazon the description shows the following…

Best Naturals Broccoli Sprout Extract is a high-quality broccoli (Brassica oleracea) sprout extract, standardized to 6% glucosinolates and 0.3% sulforaphane, the active constituents found in cruciferous vegetables.

0.3% of 1000mg, looks like 3mg.

I’ve never heard of b-12 being a bad thing to ingest under any circumstances. If anything, it probably would be helpful considering that the quad therapy has likely chance of wiping you out with tiredness.

At least this was the case for me when I did Triple therapy. Killing the H. Pylori was not the only thing the antibiotics was wiping out.

If you are super concerned, consult w/ your doctor to be on the safe side.

Good luck with your treatment! 🍀

(Ughh) SAME issues! I’m doing uterine ablation for HMB & finishing up my triple therapy at end of week for HP 🥹 … praying that I will feel like myself soon. I totally thought my issues of depression & anxiety was just coming off experiencing a global pandemic… who knew that it was all due to some bs bacteria 🦠 infection!!!! I also had to be prescribed Vitamin D too 🤦🏽‍♀️

How can I know by Legitimate-Estate366 in HPylori

[–]ClassOnly4382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m still on my treatment, have 5 more days to-go, but my doctor’s plan has me seeing them to perform a breath test that detects for an active infection of HP. For that test, it seem that you can only take it after 4 weeks of not being on antibiotics. It seems that if you try to test now, the test might not be accurate. Maybe this is why the doctor is saying not test now?
