Re: H. pylori treatment?

[Guest guest]

Tom,

Sorry to hear about your stomach pain. I can certainly identify with that. I

would see a GI doctor if I were you to get tested for H-Pylori. It will need to

be treated if you have it otherwise it will continue to get worse. Ignoring

this can cause even more serious problems.

There are a lot of alternative remedies other than the usual three antibiotics

and ppi protocol, but I cannot vouch for their effectiveness. Many people claim

that taking Zinc-Carnosine will clear up the H-Pylori. In Japan this product is

given by prescription and prescribed for H-Pylori. Here you can get it in

health stores.

Check out the information on this here and come to your own conclusions.

There are other alternative remedies available, but most all of them will only

bring you temporary relief and not kill the H-Pylori. Plus, many of the

ingredients in them are on the illegal list. Again, I think it's wise to get

tested to see if you have it before making any decisions on how to treat it.

I hope you get better soon.
