H.pylori

hmm...i just typed out a long post, and it seemed to have disappeared...i will try this again....

when i originally went to the dr 3 weeks ago, they told me I had h.pylori...and as an added bonus, i found out i had celiac <_<

the dr wanted to through a massive regimen of antibiotics plus more at me, totaling 14 pills a day, including 7 antibiotic pills a day of 2 different antibiotics. I freaked, and said i did not feel comfortable with it, since i am already allergic to 3 different antibiotics, and taking these at such a large dose seems scary to me, and the possibility of having to add 2 more to my "don't" list. though i do know this is the standard cure for this pesky bacteria.

so since then i have been taking omeprazole once a day and feel fine. my initial complaint was occasional reflux. my husband is getting tested friday since it is contagious, and his tummy issues are way worse than mine to where over-the-counter meds don't seem to help much. he is also getting tested for celiac (he is english, and i heard they are more likely to have it?) i will decide after his test about what to do.

i have some friends, a couple, who had this..took the meds, and still had the bacteria, so they said it was a huge waste of time. plus i can't imagine the meds...14 pills a day for 2 weeks can do any good for my tummy.

i read Manuka honey can help..but i am not sure how often and how much. i have also been having a cup of keifer a day.

does anyone have experience with this? and if so any natural remedies? also do you think there is any connection between this and celiac? or that this brought the celiac out?

thanks!!

My understanding of H pylori is that it's an acid loving bacteria and the only way to get rid of it is 1 or 2 different antibiotics along with ppis. You also frequently have to treat the person's partner, as it can be passed through kissing. On the other hand, many people have H pylori but are completely asymptomatic.

If it isn't causing you any problems, you might just want to skip the treatment.

My husband is getting tested this Friday, and i will have my daughter tested as well. We share a lot of food, and co-sleep (she is 4), and she has been burping lately :( So I want to make sure she is OK too.

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      That happened to me as well @trents! I always wondered it that regimen caused my celiac disease!

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By trents · Posted

      I see nothing in the ingredient list that concerns me from a gluten intolerant perspective. Historically, how has your 13 yr. old been treated for his acne? When I was a teenager I had acne issues (this was in the 1960s) and was put on a long term regimin of tetracycline. It helped the acne but I am convinced it altered my gut microbiome and contributed to the development of celiac disease.

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By LynnM · Posted

      Hello. My 13 YO son has celiac disease and terrible acne. Our older son, not celiac disease is using a product that is new on the mkt within the last few years called SHIELD. Body wash, cream and patches. Wonderful results. I contacted the Co and they were very helpful but definitely suggested we contact our G.I. specialist, I have done so but I have not heard back from her. Below is the correspondence with the company and I was wondering if anyone here could please tell me whether or not these ingredients are safe.     Hi Lynn, thank you for reaching out and for your interest in our products! To ensure transparency, here is the full list of ingredients used in our products. While we do not add gluten-containing ingredients, we always recommend reviewing the list below if you have sensitivities or allergies.

      almost a year in recovery - so many questions about to give up

      By kopiq · Posted

      so im short a year of diagnosis this october. As soon as I was diagnosed i quit all gluten and relied on buckwheat and potatoes at times as my carb sources. Due to a power outage i could not eat buckwheat for a couple days, i felt better but when power was back on i ate buckwheat and felt sick, i soon cut it out of my diet.long story short I have developed psoriasis and cramping in my calves and feet, brutal cramping at that. I cut out rice and potatoes and corn and eggs as consuming them would make my psoriasis extremely itchy. I have only ate sweet poatoes and plantins for two months straight 5 to 6 times a day with no symptoms other than slow digestion of small intestine. I was also diagnosed with raynauds phenomenon recently. that's three auto immune diseases that i know about, I have constant belching from mouth even just eating chicken, Im so sick of sweet potatoes and plantains, i have no idea what to eat anymore.  the major trigger I have had with celiac is my nervous system, I was numb to everything and as I heal i have more sensation. I got sick with flu and covid during this time and I felt physically and mentally fine even though my wife was vomiting, i could feel the body aches and chills but was numb to feeling sick to my stomach. its like celiac masked the sensation which is scary cause if I was really sick with something serious I would not know it. Im at the point that im eating rice and potatoes even though it flares my psoriasis and causing inflammation and this numbness in my stomach genital area as my digestion get slower. I think im lacking enzymes but dont know for sure my dr has done so many blood tests for liver, pancreas, gall bladder, rheumatoid arthritis and thyroid all which she says comes back fine. I dont know what to do anymore, am i hurting my small intestine (villi) by eating eggs, rice and corn? they do flare my itch psoriasis and cause inflammation to the point of numbness in lower stomach genital area,  but is it affecting my villi? i need carbs, but all these grains effect my nervous system, I have so much gas from eating it affect my erections and sensations during sex, i havent had sexual arousal in almost a year, i only feel strong pressure and when it is over the pressure is gone and i have a lot of flatulence. its the strangest thing like something needs to relax down there and it relives pressure and gas. need help, my dr dosent know what to do. do i need immune suppressants?   thanks.

      Need GI doctor referral

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While I don’t have a specific personal recommendation, there are several ways to find a skilled GI doctor in Tucson who specializes in celiac disease. Check the Celiac Disease Foundation’s Healthcare Practitioner Directory for listed providers in Arizona: https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/find-a-healthcare-practitioner/ Also, local healthcare systems like Banner-University Medicine or El Rio Health may have gastroenterologists with celiac expertise—consider asking for referrals to doctors familiar with gluten-related disorders. When contacting potential doctors, ask about their experience with celiac diagnosis, follow-up protocols, and whether they work with dietitians.
