H. Pylori?

Hi everyone!

I did my colonoscopy this morning... no sign of serious inflammatory bowel disease (hooray!), although there was mild inflammation where my small intestine ends and my large intestine begins. Biopsy results in 10 days.  I did a celiac blood panel test, but that will take a while to come back. Buuuut. There may be something else causing my symptoms. H.plyori.

I did a breath test, and the normal range for it is 0 - 25. Mine was 30. Anything above a 50 is serious business (i.e. bad) but 30 is still above the "normal" range. I have been having acid reflux, bloating, strange bowel movements, etc. for the past few months. The doctor prescribed antibiotics and probiotics to help take care of it. I was wondering if anyone has been through this before, or been dx with H. ployri? What were your symptoms?

Hi! I had H. Pylori when I was a teen. I found out because I had horrible stomach pain and I could't walk or sit up. I just laid on the couch curled up in a ball crying. The doctor felt my stomach and then took some blood tests to find it. I had 3 ulcers at the time and supposably that's how I got it. I took several antibiotics for weeks and it cleared up. Then I got ulcers again a few years later but no infection.

Hope this helps!

Oh my! That sounds so painful! :( I'm glad there was no recurrent infection. Were you able to get rid of the ulcers that occurred later? I honestly would have had no idea to check for H.Pylori, the gastroenterologist decided to do it along with the celiac testing and colonoscopy. I hope it fixes these stomach issues once and for all cross fingers.

Yeah the ulcers healed both times, but every one and while I get that feeling again but it usually passes. Aside from labor it was the worst pain I ever experienced. Good luck I hope you get some relief!

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
