Guest guest Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 I was just curious if anyone on the board has had the test for H. Pylori bacteria or candida. If so I was wondering if after being diagnosed with either one, did the treatment (I assume antibiotics) help to get rid of/lessen your rosacea symptoms. I'm really starting to think that there is a link between my rosacea and either h. pylori or candida. Another question, how do you get tested for these? Do you go to a regular doctor Or a GI specialist? Any info/feedback would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just had an upper and lower endoscopy resulting in a liver, stomach, and intestinal biopsy (miserable experience), and although the test results are not in yet, my gastroenterologist thinks I have that bacteria, Pylori... he said the pictures from the endoscopy pretty much show it. I'll let you know how it goes, if I have treatment, and the results on cea as a result. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
