My test results came through the door yesterday. They were negative. I was tested because I have reflux disease, which I was diagnosed with at 7yrs old (10 years ago), and this can be caused by h.pylori. Only when I got another new consultant was I tested for this bug though.
How was you tested? I myself had a urea test (drank orange juice then blown into a test, then 30minutes later drink more orange juice with urea powder in then I blew into a bag).
The treatment varies. At the most its a two week course of two antibiotics, and usually an anti-reflux drug (to decrease the amount of acid made). What course of tablets have you been put on? The antibiotics are usually something like augumentin, cefaclor, etc, etc ... two the the wide-range antibiotics is prescribed (one course will not be effective). Anti-reflux meds is usually omeprazole.
After the course h.pylori will be completely gone, so no need for panic.
Wumingsden.i got second tested, but haven't got the result yet.
First time they gave me CO2 to drink and then blow it balloon. Its kinda breath test.
thanks anyway

H pylori is a bacteria...
There is a blood test, but it'll be positive even after treated. So it can't be used to make sure you've been sufficiently treated after the antibiotic/PPI treatment. That's why you had to do the breath test (it looks for the stuff the bacteria is making).
I'd suggest you stick with the PPI for a while even after testing negative to allow any ulcerations that had started to heal...
Many people have helicopter inside stomach and it΄s not a virus but bacteria. The worst thing I know can happen is getting ulcers, but this can happen even if you don't have this bacteria. And yes it can come back, because it's bacteria:)

It could potentially come back if not all of it is killed by the medication. They probably gave you antibiotics of some sort, be sure to take them as told and take them all. Do not stop once symptoms go away because there may be small amounts of the bacteria left in your stomach, so be sure to FINISH your medicine unless your doctor prescribes you something else and tells you to stop using it.
