H Pylori

Hi there,

I got lab results and I have H pilori with many food intolerances as well. I had a number of symptoms gastro and skin sensitivity mostly (painful to touch and nerve tingling burning sensation quite electric, itching and darkening where it didn't itch). At the same time, I had symptoms of adrenal and chronic fatigue.

My new doctor suspected adrenal fatigue and intestinal parasites. Instead I have H pilori and food allergies. I have been taking liquorice root for the fatigue and may have to stop now that I know my adrenals*** are Ok but I read that liquorice could help with H pilori as well. The doctor prescribed me an antibiotic for one week but I like to avoid antibiotics for the health of my intestines.

Anyone knows about alternatives to antibiotics? Can oregano oil help? Anyone used liquorice with some success?

***adrenals: have to work harder with H pylori infection and that's why I had adrenal fatigue symptomes. Read here:

I'm sorry I just found your post and questions. I successfully treated my H. Pylori infection (diagnosed by stool test and obvious stomach pain) with mastic gum and turkey rhubarb tincture. Mastic gum didn't destroy my good bacteria, like antibiotics often do. However, I suspect you've already used the antibiotic treatment for your HP. Lemmeno (pm me) if you want any more info about treating HP or if you just want to talk about your experience.

Mastic gum worked for me. I also stopped all alcohol and that helped too. I still take a mastic gum capsule every other day. It doesn't seem to have any negative effects.

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
