Are Amoxicillin And Clarithromycin Safe To Be Taken For H.pylori Infection?
ONE YEAR AGO I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH H PYLORI. TREATED WITH AMOXICILLIAN 500 MG 2/DAY 14 DAYS AND CLARITHROMYCIN 500 MG 2/DAY 14 DAYS. HAVE NEVER FELT WELL SINCE. HAVE HAD MANY TESTS: SONOGRAM, COLONOSCOPY, EGD, HIDA-SCAN, CT OF ABDOMEN, AND GASTRIC EMPTYING STUDY (ALL NEGATIVE). I HAVE BEEN LACTOSE FREE FOR A YEAR. KEEP ELIMINATING THINGS OUT OF MY DIET, BUT STILL HAVE STOMACH ACHES, DIARRHEA AND A WEIRD, FRONT FORHEAD HEADACHE WHEN I EAT MUCH OF THE TIME, NOT 100 PERCENT OF THE TIME THOUGH. ABSOLUTELY CANNOT EAT AT A RESTAURANT. GET SICK WITHIN 30 MINUTES. I AM SO FRUSTRATED AND SICK OF FEELING SICK. ANY HELP OR SUGGESTIONS?

I would recommend that you see a psychiatrist or psychologist. Sometimes the mind manifests these problems and it passes onto the body. This is known as somatoform disorder. If you do have this condition, the psychiatrist and psychologist will assist by teaching you coping mechanisms so that you can start to eliminate these problems slowly from your life.
