I Am Looking For A 2nd Opinion Before I Start
Question: I am looking for a 2nd opinion before I start on the medication.
I have had the following symptoms for some time.
1. Stomach bloating. like always filled up gas hard
2. Pain (feeling) in the stomach
3. Some times, lose motion.
4. Anxiety and headache
I used to treat the above with tablets like zantac, or pentazole and with one or two does, i gets healed
This happened like once or twice a year.
This year, it happened 3 days ago and this time I went to see my doctor. Who took my blood sample and H.Pylori came Positive.
He prescribed the following medications for 7 days:
Hyposec capsules 2 x twice a day (before meal)
Penamox 500 - 2 capsules twice a day (morning/evening) after meal
Clarimac 500 - 2 tab - one morning and another evening (after meal)
gaviscon syrup (not sure before or after mean)
I have yet to start the above medication. I have done some google and found the following:
This bacteria some times gets in childhood and remain there in 60% of population. Cause of alarm when it is accompanied
with m symptoms.
Now I have a strong feeling that I can again take precautions and take zantac or pentazole for few days and eats diet like oats etc and i will be back to normal. Because am afraid of taking 3000 mg antibiotics daily for 7 days (just a fear of side effects).
Therefore I am asking your opinion? what should I do?
If you ask me to proceed wit antibiotics, what food should i take to avoid antibiotics side effect because doc told me to stay away from milk (was thinking of taking milk to reduce antibiotic side effect)
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Fiber intake is important
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.
I have gone very carefully through your query. Your problem seems to be due to gastritis or gastroesophageal reflux. Our gastrointestinal tract has a forward propulsive movement (peristalsis) that moves the food material forward as it is digested, absorbed and finally expelled as feces. If somehow this movement gets hampered, food along with the digestive juices would stagnate, stomach acid will reflux into the food pipe and on the other hand the bowel habits would not be proper this leading to constipation. Degradation of undigested food in the intestines by the intestinal bacteria would lead to the excess gas formation. On the other hand constipation alternates with diarrhea. Antibiotics are unlikely to solve your problem.
In order to relieve yourself, you need to do the following:
* Avoid spicy food. Take small but frequent meals. Avoid long gaps between meals.
* Avoid alcohol intake (if it a part of your habit).
* Take Prilosec (omeprazole) once daily before breakfast.
* Take plenty of green leafy vegetables as well as other sources of dietary fibers. Take fiber supplements like isabgol/psyllium husk or senna. I would insist you to increase your dietary fiber intake.
* Regular morning walk and exercise to keep the bowel movements proper.
* If I had a patient like you I would perhaps have suggested Prodep (fluoxetine) 20 mg tablet (long term anxiolytic and a prescription drug) once daily for at least 2 months (it may take time for the action to set in). Discuss about this with your treating physician.
* Take curd or yogurt on daily basis. It contains beneficial bacteria and should help.
* Stress reduction has a very important role to play. Yoga and meditation should help.
Fiber rich food items include:
* Apples, pears, parsnip, berries, raspberries, kumquats, guavas, squash, oranges, passion fuit, avocado, blackberries, pomogranate, currants, persimmons, kiwi fruits, figs, bananas, blueberries, cherries, apricots, strawberries, tangerines, papaya, mangoes, pineapple, plums, litchi, grapes, watermelon
* Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce, brussels sprout, carrots, leafy vegetables and spinach, amaranth, artichokes, green peas, collard greens, XXXXXXX sweet potato, okra, fennel, eggplant/brinjal, sweetcorn, beets, turnip, asparagus, onions
* Legumes, beans, lentils, chickpeas, celery, soybean, navy beans, cranberry beans, french beans
* Whole grains, quinoa, brown rice, millets and oats, squash and pumpkin seeds, seasame seeds, dried coconut, almonds,
* Mushrooms
* Flax seeds, chia seeds, corn XXXXXXX
Hopefully that should help.
Let me know if I could help further.

Thank you doctor for your detailed reply and what you said really makes sense, and I will definitely implement all of what you said in my life.
One question, though, I have already started one dose of the medications provided to me (2 sets of antibiotics +Hyposec).
What should I do now, should I discontinue or complete the 7 days course. Please advice/reconfirm to me and I will stop the antibiotics and reply on only the medicines you prescribed.
Another part of the same question is that what about that H.Pyroli +ve test which appeared in the blood test report? How do I take that into account with your first reply? please explain.
Thanks for such a wonderful reply and expecting a followup reply soon please.

Did you mean decreasing your gast.. issues?
I can not go to my doctor and ask for change of antibiotics to ones you mentioned, he would be offended because he already prescribed antibiotics of his own.
Nevertheless, I will have to complete my current doc's antibiotics, only then I can go to him and discuss further.

That's ok doctor. I was under the impression that when a patient fills out the details and attachments, it should have been reviewed because no offence you mentioned to me in your reply that you have gone thru my care carefully.
I think I have enough information from you, definitely I will consult with my doctor after the treatment, the purpose to join your website is to get a second opinion and "to ask freely the sort of questions which one does not or cant ask during doc visit".
I just have one more last query please.
Today is the 3rd day of taking the triple therapy and I must say that heavy antibiotics is really making my mouth taste so bad plus I have also pain feeling in the stomach (not the pain I had told before but the pain which you usually have when you are on normal antiniotics, only this time its much more ). I am taking good diet.
1. could you advise any food or etc to reduce this effect?
2. if I cant bear the treatment say for another day or two, I will need to stop the treatment. so could I reduce the dosage to 2g per day instead of 3g now.
Thanks you and may god bless you

Brief Answer:
The regimen needs to be modified
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back.
Unfortunately these are very strong antibiotics and do cause a number of problems including affecting taste. There are various regimens ranging from two days (very strong) to 14 days or more (moderately strong) which are given as per tolerability. i would not suggest reducing the dose own your own. Rather, reapproach your doctor and he will modify the regimen suitably. Till then any change in diet will not really help.

From today I feel better, I did not reduce the dose. seems my body is adjusting to the antibiotic effect.
Remaining 3.5 days more.
I am just worried about the overall side effects of antibiotics, if one reads the leaflet , very scary like kidney issue etc.
Anyway thanks doc, for your support, you may close this ticket now.
cheers
