Hi
I can understand your problem.
H pylori infection which normally causes break in the lining of the stomach (peptic ulcer), the following treatment is found to be effective in killing the bacteria (helicobacter pylori) and also to promote the healing process.
From your query it seems you have not received the proper treatment.
If you were my patient, I would have begin your treatment as follows:
The Triple therapy (Two antibiotics of different groups and one PPI)
Clarithromycin with Metronidazole orally to be taken for two weeks only
Along with the above antibiotics Omeprazole to be taken orally once daily but for 6 weeks duration.
Besides the medications, to enhance the healing process avoid taking hot and spicy food, alcohol and alcohol containing beverages, coffee, smoking, stress, NSAID pain killers, sweetened carbonated soft drinks etc.
Hope this answers your query.
