Brief Answer:
Gastritis Needs supportive care

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. H pylori can be a problem and its eradication may be incomplete. However , despite its eradication, its effects and gastritis may prevail for a longer time. Dizziness, sore throat, mouth ulcers and stomach pain all favour gastritis. All you need is some good antacid, diet lifestyle modifications and work up to confirm h pylori. Remember titres for this test are not helpful. Get a stool antigen test done, and if that shows the organism only then get it treated.

Modifying diet includes avoiding spices, stimulants, fatty foods, processed & canned foods, coffee, tea , smoking, beverages, alcohol, soda etc. Take more fiber and fluids and see if it helps.

Treat the oral ulcers with any topical hydrocortisone gels, sore throat with salt water gargles and white coated tongue with good oral hygiene,regular brushing and flossing etc.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

I had a stool test done in october and it came back negative but ever since then i still get symptoms on and off like sore throat, mouth sores, white tongue, stomach pain and lately i've been feeling dizzy everyday and most of the day. Could it be something else?

Brief Answer:
Gastritis symptoms

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back to me

You may repeat the stool test and if its negative again, its no more than a gastritis and you should not be worried about. All your symptoms of sore throat, recurrent aphthous ulcers, dizziness and stomach pain are attributed to gastric discomfort and you need supportive care for that. Diet and lifestyle modifications as wel discussed and antacids .

I hope it helps.

Dr. XXXXXXX thank you. I have one more symptom question. Sometimes i get up cover in sweat 1-2 a month. Could this be a stomach problem also? I've been checking my blood presure for a week and it's usually high. Today 145/92.

Brief Answer:
Supportive care. no worries

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back to me
Blood pressure if high as mentioned can cause sweating. Also many other factors, psychological, environmental, hormonal, medication induced and neurological causes that can cause sweating and needs to be evaluated for the cause if persistent. Once or twice a month is alright and happens almost to any one.

I hope it helps.
