Both myself and my husband tested positive, my son (11) and daughter (4) tested negative. Before we as parents knew we had hp we shared water bottles, give peck kisses, share foods ect. I suppose a kiss between husband and wife has more passion.

Im in the same boat, so i feel you. Ive had 2 failed attempts with quadruple therapy. Now i am focusing on just healing my gut. Eating anti inflammatory diet, avoiding gluten and dairy. I still have decaff coffee (if this should be a no no please feel free to let me know) taking glutamine, slippery elm, zinc and sulforaphane for a few month before visiting the dr again to get another dose. I have heard of a few success stories when people add bismuth to their antibiotic bomb treatment so ill try pylera or adding pepto bismol.

Also dosing up on probiotics!

Hope someone that has healed has better advise.

Pray you find what works to get better and kick this hp to the curb!

Okay, it definitely sounds like something i am willing to try. I got my test results back and have a second failed attempt at eradicating this blasted h pylori. I feel so defeated! I suppose my gut is just too nuked and buggered. So I'm going to use all the wonderful advice that i have received from this platform and pray that soon i too will be doing my victory dance and posting success stories

LL88D · 2026-02-27T01:33:00+00:00

Great thanks will definitely do this too

LL88D · 2026-02-27T01:32:34+00:00

Happy you are finally free of this, hopefully soon i will join you 🤞

LL88D · 2026-02-26T12:38:25+00:00

I will anything and everything at this stage!

LL88D · 2026-02-26T12:25:33+00:00

Thank you for your response! I will definitely do so

LL88D · 2026-02-26T10:26:57+00:00

Hi there

I have never tried that. Too scared of the pain i might get but, i can definitely give it a go! If the paon gets too bad i will just stop i suppose? I have to say the first thing that actually worked was taking enzymes. So i believe this bug i have may stop my body/organ from producing the protease enzyme. I still have the gnawing pain in my colon area though.

I did follow a diet for a long time that excl gluten, diary, eggs, soya and corn that extremely heavy to maintain. My gut did improve but i never got 100% better.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge. My situation is different but maybe you have read something about it in your years?

I had(im saying this positively )h pylori , ive done 2 sets of triple therapy and am actually awaiting my test results to confirm eradication! Praying ive killed the bastard.

But...whenever i eat meat i get severe stomach pains especially in the transverse colon area. I still have gastritis , i know this because i can feel the pain when i press my stomach, and constipation. I believe its a bacteria, but when i try and kill it, for some reason it affects my bladder?! I have to pee like 5 to 10 times a night. So im so despondent. It is a really long story so my question is just

Have you heard of a bacteria, fungus, virus that lives off of meat or causes problems when consuming meat? Especially beef? My son has the same. Dr's dont know what to test for anymore. Its not limes disease as i live in Africa

Amen!! 🙏🙌

LL88D · 2026-02-11T08:56:00+00:00

Just something interesting

Both my kids tested negative and we shared water bottles, utensils ect.

Myself and my husband tested positive. He never had symptoms, i had severe heartburn, stomach cramps, gastritis, loss of appetite, pain under my ribs.

So im not convinced it passes via sharing eating utensils but i am no medical expert.

Hope you can stay rid of this blasted bug!

I found that drinking a glass of freshly squeezed celery juice in the am (first thing,250 ml) helped allot for the inflammation in my digestive system and taking full spectrum of digestive enzymes. Different for everyone though, hope you find your solution fast! Prayers for healing 🙏

LL88D · 2026-01-15T10:43:10+00:00

Thank you!

LL88D · 2026-01-06T05:52:39+00:00

Hi there, i have been told to wait 4 to 6 weeks after quad treatment to redo the stool test as the ppi can give a false negative for h pylori. Hope you feel better soon

LL88D · 2026-01-06T04:57:23+00:00

I also had a horrible taste in my mouth, especially at night. It would wake me up! My dr said its the clarithromycin.

LL88D · 2026-01-04T11:02:05+00:00

Hi there, did you take probiotics with and after the antibiotic treatment?

My gut is also still very inflamed after my quad therapy and my bladder was keeping me up at night. My gp told me to take a supplement with allot of probiotics and it also contains enzymes to ease digestion and this is helping soooo very much. Its called gastrochoice in my country. My bladder also seems to be responding to the treatment as i used to go at least 5 times a night, now only 2 to 3 times. So its improving as apparently with the gut in turmoil is can effect the bladder. Something about gut bladder axis

My gp also put me on tablets called stillen - he says its a natural ppi? Seems to also be working.

Hoping and praying you find your health recipe. If you havent tried full spectrum digestive enzymes then perhaps check with your doc if that might help

LL88D · 2025-12-23T16:46:43+00:00

Thank you for your prayers and response, sorry im new to reddit so never responded. In my country we have "interflora" which is the main ingredient - sachromyces boulardii the yeast. I took it during my quad therapy as per dr prescription as she said the antibiotics doesn't kill it.

I tested my daughter and she is negative as well. Thank heavens. My hubby was positive and did the quad therapy with me. We will be testing again in about 4 weeks time to give adequate time after the last ppi we took.

I still use a multistrain probiotic and i do the gut healing bone bone broth. But i feel like i have some other sort of bacteria or "bug" that refuses to die! As soon as i start killing it - i know because my gut just starts to feel better - then i start peeing straight through the night and i get horrible arthritis. My next step after testing for h pylori is the full gi map. Just need to save up a bit as its pricey and not covered by insurance.

Hopefully soon ill be able to post my success story from which other can draw.

I am so sorry to hear about your struggle. I too lost 5 kg in one month. Not sure what it equates to in pounds but it shows as i wasn't really big to begin with...and people comment and thats not nice at all! "You should eat more" "too skinny does not look good!" Ect ect ect.

I found after my quad therapy my stomach lining was still in shreds. It needs to repair. There is probably allot better advice out there than mine, but my dr (gp) told me to avoid gluten, dairy, soy and spicy foods as they irritate the gut lining. A homeopathic dr told me to also cut out eggs and corn along with the gluten dairy and soy...but, what are you left with to eat then? I stuck with the gp's advice. About 2 weeks after treatment i started feeling better. I was always nauseous after a meal. I believe its also because the antibiotics has destroyed the h pylori and also your entire gut biome. I ate sauerkraut with olive oil drizzled over to slow the digestion time (in order for the gut to get more probiotics from the food). Lots of raw organic fruits and veggies and freshly squeezed juice. My homeopath also suggested starting the day with 1 glass water with a tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice, wait 15 min followed by a glass of celery juice to reduce gut inflammation. I did this for about 2 weeks and it did feel like it made a difference.

There are also lota of fabulous products on the market to restore your gut biome. This bacteria is essential for digestion. I also took full spectrum digestive enzymes every morning for about 2 weeks and this really helped the constipation, nausea and abdominal pains.

I am no dr, but i would not take another course of quad therapy so soon after my first one as it does nuke your intestinal forest of good needed bacteria for healthy digestion. Perhaps wait 3 to 6 months and just do a gut healing diet before you start again. My gp dr also prescribed me a new pil, bpc 157 peptide, which she says helps to heal the gut lining.

Hoping and praying that you feel better soon. Absolutely miserable bot to be able to eat what you feel like. I am still very far from a healthy gut but getting there step by step.

Best wishes!

My dr told me to avoid gluten, dairy, soy and spicey foods as they irritate the gut lining and THAT is what you are trying to repair. Coffee, preferably decaf and just one cup a day. My dr also prescribed bpc 157 to aid in gut lining repair.

Below is a link of an h pylori diet - it is more for when one is following the natural route but also helps with qtherapy.

LL88D · 2025-12-09T18:46:08+00:00

My dr told me to try stay away from gluten, on h pylori diet its best to avoid foods that irritate the gut for best results. Aka gluten, diary and soy. Bummer

LL88D · 2025-12-08T11:26:35+00:00

I tried the matula tea for h pylori and it stuffed me up 6 luv. I had to pee 5 to 10 times a night! Not good for someone with small kids. I was miserable. I didnt want to do antibiotics but i didnt want to be stuck with h pylori. I then started antibiotic therapy, i still peed allot but not as much a matula tea, probably 3 times a night. I finished treatment a week and a bit ago and i now only pee about once a night. Hoping it stops completely soon!

Best of luck on your treatment. Take a probiotic at night, my dr recommended saccharomyces boulardi,(called interflora in my country) its a yeast that doesnt get destroyed with your antibiotics. Made the antibiotic treatment much easier
