H. pylori & nausea & ulcers & cancer

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I looked up Helicobacter pylori and was surprised at what I found. H. pylori

was discovered in my stomach when I had the endoscopy last week. I'm on the

triple dose of drugs to clear it. When I looked at the list of symptoms, I

had all of them, including bloating, lack of appetite, nausea, weight lose.

Here's some more information on it:

The doctor was very clear that this had to be treated. H. pylori can cause

ulcers (the usual cause of stomach ulcers) and stomach cancer.

Here's more information:

I started the antibiotics on Friday night. Yesterday I was pretty much

knocked out, but I have more strength today. I had NO nausea today! And my

appetite is coming back. Now I have to watch the weight gain :-( But it's a

huge relief not to have the nausea. Hopefully it stays away. Now I just need

to work on the fatigue.
