Heliobacter Pylori

Hi all,

I found out today that I have heliobacter pylori bacteria in my stomach and a low grade yeast infection in my intestine. :o I have to be on two weeks of antibiotics and other medications. Also found out that my blood anti-gliadin and anti-transglutaminase tests are normal.( 15.9 for IgG antigliadin and 10 for ant-transglutaminase,14 for anti-gliadinIgA). Abnormal is over 20. My Doc said that its because I have been gluten free for 6 months and that she is sure they would have been above normal back then. Thats good news.

So I have the celiac gene but not full blown disease. I have gluten intolerance for now. My bone density tests and other bloodwork are normal. Yeah! :D

I think that after I take care of these infections I should be feeling better and hopefully not have the attacks that I have had. I am going to eat really clean for the next couple of weeks to support my body in fighting these infections.

So I need to stay off gluten forever or else I risk getting celiac in the future, right? Can't you still get damage to your body even if you don't show intestinal damage? There is so much conflicting information out there.

Thanks for listening,

June

If you have been gluten-free for 6 months prior to testing that will not give accurate results. Therefore you can not determine that you do not have it now. You very well could. If your doctor said she thinks 6 months ago they would have been above normal why didn't she test you then? Yes you can still get damage even if it showed you don't have any YET. Catching it before you get damage is ideal. You should definitely stay gluten free.

Kaiti,

She was not my doctor then. I am going to her out of pocket since my regular doc

doesn't know about gluten.

By the way, to anyone who has talken meds for heliobacter, did you have vomiting along with it? I had green diarrhea and uncontrollable vomiting this morning. I had to go home sick. :(

Hi Jean:

How were they able to determine you had bacteria and a yeast infection?

Thanks

June,

I had the treatment for h-pylori bacteria. I took two different antibiotics for two weeks and eight Pepto Bismol tablets per day. I had nausea all of the time. Of course, I can't stand Pepto. I also had severe diarrhea from the antibiotics. My stool was black from the Pepto.

I would say that you need to stay on a gluten-free diet to keep from damagining your intestines.

Good luck and feel better!

Hi Sally and all,

I had a stool test and blood test for the H. Pylori and blood test for the yeast. The yeast test was for D-Arabinitol which is metabolite produced by candida. A normal value is 1-5 and mine was 5.8. :huh: I'm going to try to take caprylic acid to suppress the yeast while I am on the antibiotics. I also am eating soy yogurt.

I ate 2 bananas and applesauce and today my diarrhea is better and I'm not vomiting. I am taking drops of licorice root too for the nausea. :P

I'm not thrilled with taking antibiotics but H. Pylori is a class one carcinogen and I don't want to get stomach cancer in the future.

I plan to take mastic gum after the antibiotics are through. It suppresses the bacteria.

Thanks for listening. :D

By the way Kaiti I am definitely staying gluten free. Thanks.

Sincerely,

June

      I think the best you will be able to do is to find out if gluten, or at least wheat, barley or rye is an intentional ingredient in a smoke product and only the manufacturer can answer that question. Since smokes are regulated by the AFT and not the FDA, allergens are not required to be declared in the labeling.

      yes i understand that pectin is gluten free ty.  i want to know if any cigars are gluten free its a simple question
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @brian weinstein! Gluten is a protein found in wheat barley and rye kernels. Pectin is a polysaccharide (a very complex sugar) found in the cell walls of fruits and vegetables. It is most commonly used as a thickening agent in food products, particularly jellies. So, pectin is naturally gluten free. That is not to the same as saying the cigar is gluten free.  Personally, I am reluctant to text you. I think most of us would feel the same way. Too many people already have access to our cell phone numbers.
