Dear Doctor,

The details of my medication are as under:
Symptoms: acid reflux, body became brown in colour
Started after my first endoscopy (on 7th June 2010)

2) Syrup sparacid (5 mL before each meal)
3) Pantop HP kiit (40 minutes after breakfast and dinner)
The above mentioned medicines were taken for 10 days.
From 11th day the following medicines were taken
1) Capsule Pantocid DSR (before breakfast) : taken for 20 days
2) Capsule Vibact (after lunch): taken for 10 days
No further treatment.
Then in first week of September the symptom of acid reflux reoccurred.
Treatment started with Pantoacid DSR (doctor suggested acid reflux is because of stress).
Performed 2nd endoscopy on 11th September 2010.
H PYLORI POSITIVE AGAIN
(Endoscopy results are GERD,Granular pharyngitis, Pangastritis with two aphthous ulcers, chronic duodenitis)
Ongoing treatment is

Doctor was also mentioning swelling in small intestine. I do feel some pain in stomach off and on.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
H.Pylori infection, which causes gastritis could be controlled effectively with the complete course of treatment as recommended. Many a times, the organisms are completely eradicated from the stomach mucosa or its number is brought down to minimum, which does not cause any symptoms.
However, it is essential to take care of gastritis if it happens later on once in a while so that the the organisms wouldn't flare up and cause infection again.
Hence, strictly follow the medications as recommended.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
