Brief Answer:
Consider Continuing Anti-Ulcer Treatment for longer sessions...!!
Detailed Answer:
Hi Dear, Thanks for your query to HCM.
Read and reviewed facts of your query in context to your health concerns.
Your liver / pancreatic / and gall bladder investigations are normal as submitted by.
With a given history of positive breath test for H.Pylori, your current complaints seems to be a case of "recurrence after short remission of 3 weeks".
Investigations-
In such a scenario,as a standard triple drug eradication regime of 1 week course against H.Pylori has failed,I would suggest you to get the UBT(urea breath test) for H.Pylori recurrent infection.
Review for other causes as IBS and Kidney disease/ infection is essential during this assessment while on your visit with your doctor.
Remedy suggested-
I would suggest to use longer session of 2 weeks with tripple drug therapy with changed antibiotics, which your doctor would do for you.
But if it still recurs, quadruple regime with Bismuth+Metrogyl+Tetracycline Capsule with Omeprazole(PPI), would help you in that case.
Besides those,
-Rule out IBS also while discussing with your GI Doctor.
-Also rule out Kidney pathology causing clicking under your right rib cage.
-Most importantly -you should avoid outside food/or hotel/street food,if you are on it.
-Change food habits-Style-
Good hygienic home food with bland non spicy,non fried diet for 4-6 weeks,
with Yoghurt helpings regularly, would cut the recurrence chances and would long remissions in your case.
Keep Me updated with more queries in time to come.
Welcome for any further queries in this regard.
Good Day !!
