I was diagnosed with H. pylori after having stomach problems for quite a while, possibly around 2 years. I completed the treatment, and my follow-up stool test recently came back negative.(yesterday).

However, I still have a very strong gnawing/hunger sensation in my stomach almost every 2 hours. It can actually feel painful, and eating makes it go away completely for about 2 hours. If I eat a larger meal, I can sometimes go around 4 hours before it comes back. I also experience bloating.

My doctor said that even though the H. pylori is gone, my stomach lining may still be sensitive from the gastritis and could take time to heal. I also have anxiety/possible OCD, so I'm wondering whether anxiety could be making me overly focused on normal hunger sensations and making them feel much stronger.

Has anyone experienced something similar after H. pylori treatment? How long did the gnawing/hunger sensation take to get healed after h.pylori gone?

I’d really appreciate it if anyone with some knowledge or experience could help me.

I have anxiety and OCD. For the past 5 years, I’ve been having a really hard time memorizing things. For example, learning maps in war games, chess openings, or vocabulary in a foreign language.

I talked to my doctor about it, and they said it was probably related to my condition. But isn’t there any treatment for this? My anxiety and OCD are actually under control now, and I’m not doing badly mentally. However, my memory is still the same.

I’m not even sure if what I’m experiencing is actually a memory problem. It could be an attention deficit or difficulty concentrating instead.

If I really do have a memory problem, is there a way to improve or treat it? I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced something similar or knows about this.

I've been dealing with bloating and false hunger pains for a while. I recently tested positive for H. pylori, and today is day 3 of my antibiotic treatment. I really hope it gets heal because I constantly feel hungry, and it's becoming exhausting. It feels like a gnawing sensation in my stomach. Im so sad.

I'm looking for some hope. Has anyone else experienced the same thing and recovered? How long did it take before you started feeling better?
