h.pylori symptoms??
| Mon, 02-26-2007 - 10:06am |
Hi again...in the ongoing effort to figure out why my acid reflux is so persistant, I have asked my MD to test me for h.pylori since I do sometimes have stomach "pains"(not very painful, but I am aware of them). Can anyone tell me what symptoms they had if they had h.pylori? Thanks!

Hello again and I do hope that you and your doctor are able to figure out what is causing your pain. Here is some info about H. pylori...

<Thanks again, I appreciate the help.
I'm not sure why you are so convinced that you have cancer; have you had it in the past?
About that appointment, don't feel too bad, it isn't really that long of a wait! I have a 'failed' root canal that is causing quite a bit of discomfort and the earliest appt. I could get isn't until either the 28th or 29th of March. I am on a cancellation list, in case someone cancels/changes an appt. Does your doctor offer this?

<I will look into the cancellation list...thanks for the support-sorry to be so needy! :)
Here is all types of info about stomach cancer. I doubt that is your issue, but maybe it will help you to read about it and see if ANY of it fits your experience...

It also makes me panaic since it seems everyone responds to PPI therapy and can manage their symptoms, so mine not responding well makes me think it must be something else (bad??)
Trust me, not everyone responds well to the drugs that are available. It's possible that you may need to try quite a few, before something is found that will help you. We all react differently to medications, so never assume that 'everyone else' is benefiting.
