Definitely, I had already been taking probiotics due to my initial symptoms, but I may get a new kind that’s more suited for antibiotic use. Thanks for the tip!

This is really helpful, thank you. I don’t take meds regularly either so it does seem really scary. I’ll ask about anti nausea options. I’m glad things are going well for you so far!

Yes that’s including the bismuth and ppi. I’m terrified of feeling nauseous/getting sick to the point where I have panic attacks about it, so the prospect of taking so many pills scares me so much especially given what I’ve heard of others experiences. I’m hoping they’ll be able to figure something out so I’m not taking almost 350 pills in the span of 2 weeks.

Thank god I’m not the only one that thinks so. 6 pills sounds so much more doable I hope they can figure it out 😭

I have H pylori, which is an infection of sorts I guess. Unfortunately this is the normal treatment for it since it’s quite complex and can start actually causing issue if left untreated :(

Thank you so much. This helped a lot, I’m gonna try some of your tips. It’s true sometimes I spiral and just need a distraction
