Could The Pain On Right Of The Abdomen Be Due To H Pylori?
I have H Pylori and am currently on a special diet to get rid of it, which I am nearly finished with. The main symptom for me is abdominal pain especially on the right side at night. I think the diet is helping, but I am still in pain at night, though not as bad. Could the pain be caused by something else?

Hi.
The pain in the right side of the abdomen at night with H pylori can be due to a Stomach Ulcer. But there are other differential diagnosis such as gall bladder stone, Cholecystitis, liver inflammation, pancreatic problem, right kidney infection and stone and so on.
A detailed history, physical examination by a General Surgeon, ultrasonography and relevant blood and urine tests as per the suspicion, upper GI Endoscopy can help to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.
