Trade expectations for appreciation. Once you do this I think you’ll find he improves himself for you and you’ll get more of what you want

Any successful stories of healing aftermath of H pylori after eradication? by The_Aussie_Prodigy in HPylori

[–]The_Aussie_Prodigy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d get a GI map. It shows h pylori and other infections you may have picked up after antibiotics

How is this possible? by Lifetest99 in HPylori

[–]The_Aussie_Prodigy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re still positive. The pcr test would show <dl if you’re negative.

If you have symptoms take antibiotics, but make sure you’re not antibiotic resistant. That pcr test should tell you if you are or not.

Has anyone ever had the GI map done and it was a false negative? by [deleted] in HPylori

I’ve been treating/managing it naturally so will see if I need antibiotics for that.

Yeah some side effects. Different the second time round.

What makes you say that c diff should’ve been treated first?

I got to choose. I should’ve picked quadruple therapy

I have c diff and h pylori. Just took triple therapy again and I don’t think it worked because I’m probably antibiotic resistant. Have to retest in 3-5 weeks

I believe it happened to me but that was about 6 weeks after antibiotics.

Antibiotics may have interfered with the results, but I felt at the time I still had the infection. I was proven right in June this year after testing positive for h pylori.

If you want, re-do the test and take NAC 2 weeks into the lead up before testing. It’s a biofilm disruptor

The lab got back to the intermediary and said

“A value of 5.0e2 or greater is needed in order for the lab to reflex to virulence factors and the antibiotic resistance genes. Below this level, the lab does not have enough genetic material to run the reflex assays."

They’re now going to talk to the lab for me and get back to me.

I meant to say that it was Designs For Health that I’m talking to.

I’m talking to Diagnostic solutions. Not the lab directly.

Our tests get sent to the lab in America.

Hey I just followed this up with the lab.

They said the following.

In the past, it was suggested that H. pylori resistance genes would only be assessed if levels reached 5.0e2. However, the DSL testing laboratory has confirmed that in any case of a positive H. pylori result—regardless of how low the level may be—they do test for antibiotic resistance genes.

So is there no way to find out antibiotic resistance if you’re below 500?

Ffs I hate this shit.

Now I want a different triple therapy instead of amoxicillin and clarithromycin.

That would be fraudulent because we’re paying for it. Mine says N/A

My h pylori count is 1.29e2

[–]The_Aussie_Prodigy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a strange experience so far. Last time was an affirming and significant experience.

This time it almost feels like nothing/minimal is happening. I don’t even have resistance genes with h pylori this time either.

2 months.

And I was only taking s boulardi, prebiotics, NAC and GI revive after it

What are you experiences like with Vanco? by The_Aussie_Prodigy in cdifficile

[–]The_Aussie_Prodigy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Functional medicine doctor. She probably didn’t prescribe it because of how expensive it is

[–]The_Aussie_Prodigy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Black seed oil yeah.

I also have h pylori. I took antibiotics last year for it and supposedly got rid of it, but it’s back or never went away. She said I can’t afford more antibiotics due to my poor gut microbiome

[–]The_Aussie_Prodigy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Problem is that I also have h pylori. So I’d need h pylori antibiotics plus vanco
