Second Line prescription

helloooo! I'm about to start my second treatment for this thing. the first time i took the quad bismuth therapy: Tetracycline x4 a day, Metronidazole x4 a day, bismuth x 4 a day, and 20mg Omeprazole x2 a day.

I just got prescribed:

Omeprazole 40mg twice daily + Amoxicillin 1000mg twice daily + Rifabutin 150mg twice daily. for 14 days. it looks similar to talicia

I followed a strict schedule for the quad therapy and I'm wondering if i should do the same with this one or take them all at once?

does anyone have any experience with this specific regimen?

also in my Dr's email he said he prescribed 20mg Omeprazole x2 a day, but on the bottle it says to take 20mg 2x a day!! is 40mg too a lot, and did anyone else do 40mg? I'm kinda worried that 40mg twice a day may mess up my stomach once im off

H PYLORI UPDATE

Hello everyone. I did quad therapy for 2 weeks about 4 weeks ago. Unfortunately I just got my test results back, and it is once again....positive. I feel pretty numb right now, I hate that I'm going to have to go through treatment again. My birthday is coming up and I'm just not even excited for it. Then I have a beach trip planned with mt boyfriend, the first week of July.

Anyway...

My cal levels have gone down TREMENDOUSLY. which is great, buy h pylori still stands. Do you guys think it is possible that I tested too soon, and have a false positive?

Also, I'm wondering is it possible that hpylori was detected but on a level that is normal? The test just tests whether or not it's present it looks like. Idk if guess I'm just reaching for possibilities.

Does anyone have any advice? Is there a way to get through this without another 2 weeks of 14 pills a day?

Regarding Ari on Tour (TRIGGER WARNING)

​

TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️

First off, I want to express my deepest love for ariana. I have been a fan since 2015, since i was 15 years old...that is 11 years now.

I have been seeing footage of ari on tour, she sounds amazing as per usual, her fits are BEAUTIFUL. However, I finally see what everyone has been saying for a couple of years now.

For the longest time, I have just conflated all of these ED rumors to just shit that haters say about our girl. But to be honest, I just finished watching her perform thank u, next and I just experienced some sorrow and sadness for the first time in that regard. I want to say, I really am sorry for everyone who is dealing with things like ED.

I have experience with this stuff, but have never experienced the extremities. I finally understand what people are saying, and realise that these statements have also came from people who have actually dealt with something quite similar and who are the ones who can see the signs.

I really wish you all and ariana very well. It is a tough world and a tough life. Mental health awareness is so important, and I really hope that you guys know that you aren't alone. Please reach out for help in time of need. There are a lot of negative and nasty humans, but in the midst of that there are also a great amount of loving and kind humans. Please continue to spread love, you never know what people are going through.

has anyone dealt with this type of bloating?

I am about 4 weeks post treatment. Ive been dealing with this weird bloating before treatment, during treatment, and still after. its almost like the bloating is strictly in the mid bottom portion of my abdomen. is this an h pylori thing or does this look like something else?

Constipation almost 2 weeks post treatment

hey everyone. I am about a week and a half post treatment. before treatment, I was chronically constipated. during treatment I pooped A LOT. I took florastor and another probiotic 2 times a day. felt great being able to finally get some stuff out. the week after treatment, I still pooped everyday, 2 times a day almost. but after the first week, ive been slowly getting constipated. the last 2 days ive only been able to get out pellets. today i had some mucous too. im getting scared, im wondering has anyone experienced constipation after treatment, and how did you go about fixing it? anything helps, thanks. (im still taking florastor every day btw)

food after treatment

hey guys. I am currently on day 13 out of 14 for the quad treatment of h pylori (I honestly dont know how I got this far😭). I have been CRAVING a salad. I was wondering if it would be okay to eat a salad the day after my last day of treatment? I usually use mixed greens, and the dressing i make has olive oil, Dijon mustard, and white wine vinegar. I heard that we shouldn't eat raw veggies but ive also heard the opposite. please help!
