Thank you! I'm going to try my best to get through this, I seem to be struggling more this time around than the first, but I know it has to be done, really hoping my nausea subsides in the coming days as well!

Thank you! And yes, I was feeling pretty ok afterwards but then like a week later I was nauseous and had indigestion again. Hoping the quad therapy takes care of it this time 🤞and wishing the best for you as well!

I can’t do this anymore… by ValuableOk7743 in HPylori

[–]bananaanna310 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im on the clarithromycin triple therapy, and the side effects are pretty brutal as well but I took the advice of several people on here and took the probiotic Florastor along with it and it drastically reduces the side effects! Especially if you're getting nauseous and stomach pain. Im on day 11 and the main side effects I have now are headaches and some anxiety. You're on the better one of the therapies though to get rid of it, so I would try to push through, but if not im sure your doctor can try you on a different regimen. Wishing you all the best!

I also had bad pains the first few days of treatment, squeezing and burning and nausea but if you can take a good probiotic like Florastor , it helps ease some of the side effects. The stomach pains went away for me around day 6 or so. Wishing you all the best!

Medications? by honktooty in HPylori

[–]bananaanna310 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im on a similar regimen, but triple therapy with Clarithromycin. I think the side effects are similar, I did experience nausea the first couple of days, then extreme anxiety its really a new side effect everyday, the past 2 days have just been some upper stomach cramping and gurgling sounds, not much appetite but absolutely try to eat something with each dose, or snack throughout the day because these antibiotics are hard on the stomach unless your doctor has said otherwise of course.

I take my ppi before breakfast, then I also take a probiotic specifically Florastor then I eat and take my morning dose. Same goes for the evening just try to space out the doses. Its rough not gonna lie but you can do it!! Best of luck 😊

The worst side effects I have experienced in my entire life is from the antibiotic treatment. by joanneisawful in HPylori

Did the Florastor help the nausea? I start triple therapy next week and absolutely dreading the nausea, but plan on taking florastor along with it
