How will you get tested for it, do you know?

Every doc is diff on this. I have h. Pylori and am taking the vile antibiotics for 10 days and surgery is in 2 weeks and I don't have to get re-tested. I had no inflammation and no erosion.

If you have to take the meds, drinking some 2% milk first and then following w milk helped alot with the bitterness and metallic aftertaste.

Omg thank you for this suggestion because the medication is so horrid I can't stand it and this helped.

I have H. pylori I have to take 8 pills a day for 10 days but i receive 14 supply in the box. The doc said I should be clear did not ask me to retest.

On my upper gastric exam (pipe swallow) I’ve been diagnosed having 2 ulcers. Biopsy indicated h pillory, so I got antibiotics. The next exam indicated that ulcers were gone.

As my doc said it is extremely important to heal any stomach-related issues, like erosion or ulcers, as those could cause a severe leakage or inflammation shortly after the surgery. So one should be ready to postpone the op until fully healed.

They have you blow in a little bag then you drink this thing and wait 30 min and then blow again in a bag

I din't have test preop. They diagnosed me with H-Pylori after testing the tissue removed during the sleeve surgery. Had to wait until the purée stage before starting treatment because I needed to have food in my tummy to take the many huge tablets required to treat it. Retested 4 weeks after completion of treatment. Now eradicated.

During my endoscopy it was revealed that I was positive for H-Pylori and had to take 3 pills twice a day for 14 days. My surgeon will not perform the surgery until it is gone. So I am required to take a stool test to ensure that the bacteria is gone. Thankfully I did my endoscopy early on in this journey
