r/HPylori

Does anyone know when the loss of appetite , nausea, and burping goes away? How long did it take you to heal?
And tips or advice?

Hey, my gastritis was caused by h pylori which is fortunately eradicated now... But now I'm left with mild chronic Gastritis with moderate intestinal metaplasia. Atp, I'm following a bland diet that is not very strict tbh.... I was on ppi for 20 days and I stared feeling numbness in feet... Ppi works for me but gives this side effect, also I have been having burning symptom for almost 2 years now.

I was probably on PPIs on and off, pretty sure not regularly but in total I might be on ppi for 4-5 months throughout this 2 years ... I also heard that excessive use of ppi can cause sibo also.. that's why I'm not in favour of taking PPI again... So I'm curious to know if it's possible to cure mild chronic Gastritis or I must have to take PPI despite the side effects.....

If anyone been facing burning as a main symptom, plz give some guide to manage this and heal this condition asap, can also suggest supplements to take

I’m getting an EGD/colonoscopy to check for a multitude of things, one being HPylori. I asked my doc if I need to stop taking PPI two weeks before the procedure, she said no. Everywhere I’ve read online says it’s best to stop taking a PPI two weeks before. Since HPylori is my biggest concern, I’m curious what is best.

What did your doctor have you do before your endoscopy?

Hi everyone, looking for advice , been struggling since 5-6 months.

Jan 2026: Gallbladder removal surgery. I was symptom-free for about 3 months.

April 2026: One night, I experienced sudden, intense neck pain and a severe headache. The next morning, I developed a chronic "cough" feeling and a constant globus sensation.

I’ve seen multiple ENTs and GIs. I was diagnosed with LPR/GERD and "cobblestone throat." I spent 2 months on high-dose PPIs (Vonoprazan/Raboprazole) with zero improvement. Last week, a new GI (recommended by my friend) performed an endoscopy and confirmed H.Pylori. I am currently 1 week into triple therapy. Following no-acid diet as well. Whenever I feel slightly better and try normal food or chocolate, my throat, ear, and neck pain flare up terribly for 24+ hours.

Symptoms:

Persistent globus sensation (lump in throat), chronic dry cough/throat clearing, and "cobblestone" throat appearance (diagnosed via endoscopy/ENT).

Throat pain, jaw pain, constant ear pain/pressure, neck tension/headaches.

Salivary gland issue, feels like chronic lymph node around tonsil area.

Reflux and cobblestones.

Questions:

How long into the antibiotic course did you finally start feeling "normal"?

Did your LPR/globus symptoms vanish immediately after treatment, or did they take weeks/months to heal?

Has anyone else experienced salivary gland issues alongside LPR/GERD?

How to confirm H. pylori is gone after finishing antibiotics?

Thank you.

There are only 3 days left to finish the treatment, but this morning I couldn't take the Pepto-Blaze. The nausea was awful. I don't know if I should keep taking it; I feel like I can't take it anymore. I want to stop taking all these pills. Is there anyone else on this treatment who could at least stop taking the Pepto-Blaze? The taste is horrible; I can't stand it anymore.

Hey guys, missing work/school is not an option unfortunately, has anyone had experiences with these, if so how was it could you function.

Hi, im wondering what everyone recovery systems looked like. I'm on day 61 of ppi medication, my testing showed chronic gastritis. I had all day burning and vibrations and a very tight upper abdomen with horrible pain, now the burning and sharp pain has stopped, but in still feeling systems all day like a rumbling stomach, low vibration and bubbling feeling and reducing tightness.. is this normal. Am I doing something wronge?

I recently tested positive for H. pylori, and I’m wondering if anyone else experienced symptoms beyond the typical stomach issues.

For the past few months, I’ve been dealing with a lot of weird symptoms, including dizziness/off-balance feelings, headaches/head pressure, heart palpitations and random heart-rate spikes, anxiety/panic feelings, brain fog/derealization, fatigue, and just generally not feeling like myself.

I do have GI symptoms too, but they honestly haven’t been the worst part. I’ve had acid reflux, frequent burping, occasional stomach pain/bloating, constipation, and really foul-smelling stools.

I also found out my vitamin D was pretty low. I’ve had a lot of testing done because of the palpitations/dizziness, and so far nothing major has been found, so now I’m wondering how much H. pylori could potentially be contributing.

My doctor prescribed the Voquezna Triple Pak (vonoprazan + amoxicillin + clarithromycin), which I’ll be starting soon.

Has anyone with H. pylori experienced similar symptoms, especially the dizziness, palpitations/HR spikes, anxiety, brain fog, or head pressure? And if you treated the H. pylori, did those symptoms improve afterward?

Would love to hear your experiences with the Voquezna Triple Pak too.

So the last few days I've been getting a pretty bad burning behind my breastbone. I'm assuming due to tetracycline. I probably took it with too much water for the last 7 days as I was afraid of it getting stuck. Probably sloshed back up?

Anyway, if this is irritation and hurts like this now, wtf is going to happen in the next 5 days and after I stop the PPI? Do I just get more and wean off them over a couple of weeks after being done the treatment?

Taking the pills now after meals send to make it hurt more than alone.

Anyway just curious on how to proceed

Thanks again!

I start school and treatment this week. Can I manage? I cannot fail nor do i want to miss the semester:(. I am a commuter.

I'm on Day 11 of Quadruple Therapy: Metronidazole and Doxycycline. I took a dose of Metronidazole and Bismuth right before bed and woke up with tingling/pins and needles on both legs up to my mid-thigh. It scared me. It went away after about 3 hours of gentle movement and electrolytes. Is this a common side effect? Of course, now I'm nervous to keep taking the meds. This is hard.

I went to the doctors today and she told me that my retest for h pylori came back and it came back negative! this still doesn’t mean my gut is healed and it really sucks, one thing I’ve been doing is to trying to stop eating before 7:30 pm or at least 8 pm, and when I sleep I have also elevated my pillow and i have seen a huge difference in my sleep and how I feel at night, I now get little to no reflux when laying down. im also sleeping earlier which is very rare for me and the only time that happened is when I took meds that knocked me out LMAO. I really don’t know why i avoided this so much when I can sleep peacefully now, I’m also now tracking my food intake and symptoms to track my triggers and to then cut them off until my stomach heals, but I’ve already cut out dairy and soft drinks since I started having reflux and ate other things in moderation but I’m such a big foodie its literally hell having to change my diet and gets way harder when I’m near or starting my period… I literally cried cause of how I had to now be so picky about what I eat or else I’d be in extreme discomfort or pain. what I’ve also tried doing is diaphragmic breathing or whatever after I eat and I’ve also seen an improvement in my reflux after that. i probably complain a lot about this to my friends but sometimes i wish they could know how serious this actually is and it’s not just oh I have a bit of burping I can’t eat cause my stomach is fucked but now I’m in the recovery stage it’s really hard for me to make changes cause im mainly lazy and can give in easily and obviously it’s hard for me to make changes but I’m still trying my best at the moment, but I have been getting better at avoiding my triggers now that I’m actually tracking it. I know it isn’t easy but ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. atleast I know I never have to go through those terrible antibiotics ever again and this IS temporary. I’m about to start my period so Goodluck to me with that lmao it’s about to suck 10x harder

Has anyone used manuka honey? Did you experience a die-off? Any pain?

How many of you are experiencing strange cool, minty feeling from throat down the stomach pre treatment? And how many feel that they got fever but temperature stays normal?
