Suggest Dietary Advice And Supplements For Complete Recovery From H. Pylori Infection While On Antibiotics
Question: Any suggestions to help antibiotics to eradicate H.Pylory, i.e. Diet, supplements etc
Brief Answer:
Good course
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
As you are taking clarithromycin, amoxycillin and PPI, I will recommend adding metronidazole as well to this regimen as it increases efficacy from 68% to 90 %.
Dosages are
Amoxycillin 1 gm two times.
Clarithromycin 500 mg two times.
Metronidazole 500 mg two times.
And PPI as
Omeprazole 40 mg two times or pantoprazole 40 mg two times or rabeprazole 20 mg two times. All these for 10 days.
Avoid alcohol during therapy. You may add probiotics as these have a role in the eradication of pylori.
Avoid any dietary supplement during therapy as some minerals and vitamins cause problem with antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query.
