Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 H-pylori is believed to be a component in acute gastritis and stomach ulcers. They have not yet decided whether the bacteria causes the inflammation or just keeps it from healing. Standard treatment is one or more antibiotics and a drug to reduce or neutralize stomach acid, usually at least 2 weeks, according to my Merck Medical Manual. I know H-pylori is usually tested for by a blood test....not sure how they found it on a scan. --- billymack1950 <nmagc@...> wrote: > > Hello wonderful people.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Hi , my boyfriend had h. pylori a few months ago...he took about 2 weeks of antibiotics and felt a lot better. however, the doctor did say that the bacteria would come up positive for 2 years, at least in a blood test... maybe that helps? take care shefy billymack1950 <nmagc@...> wrote: Hello wonderful people.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 No idea how they can tell that on a CT. It is the bacteria that causes ulcers among other things. Licorice root is both toxic to it and highly anti-inflam. Any of the other anti bacterial herbs like goldenseal would be good choices. -Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: billymack1950<mailto:nmagc@...> gallstones <mailto:gallstones > Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2006 8:52 PM Subject: Question about, Helicobacter Pylori Hello wonderful people.

They have not yet decided whether the bacteria causes the inflammation or just keeps it from healing. One of the two Australian researchers who just won the Nobel for discovering the connection was scoffed at by the medical community. In order to prove the point he took a large swill of the bacteria and 8 hours later was spitting blood. This would lead one to believe that the bacteria causes the inflammation. The bacteria has been implicated in numerous conditions including a possible exacerbater to gallstones. Standard treatment is one or more antibiotics and a drug to reduce or neutralize stomach acid, usually at least 2 weeks, according to my Merck Medical Manual. Interesting that low stomach acid has been implicated in the obtainment of the bacterial infection, creating an environment that the bacteria can survive in. Once you have the ulcer it is a good idea to control; acidity until the ulcer has healed but then regaining proper acidity is of primary importance. -Dave I know H-pylori is usually tested for by a blood test....not sure how they found it on a scan.

If you take the antibiotics, I would also be sure to take some 'good flora' as well!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
