When To Expect Cure From H-pylori While On Antibiotics And Prilosec?
I was diagnosed with hpylori about a week ago, my main symptom was lots of burping. I also had mild belly pain. I am now taking two antibiotics and Prilosec, it s day 7 and my belly hurts more, still burping, feels like migrating gas pain. Shouldn t I feel better by now? How long does it take for it to go away?

Hi,
You are right, you should be felt better by now. However, as you are taking 2 antibiotics, which might have altered your intestinal flora, your bloating/gas is worsen.
So, I suggest to discuss with your doctor to start anti-mycotic therapy and to take otc probiotics to ease the symptoms.
Within a couple of days of starting this therapy, the symptoms will resolve.
All the best!
