I visited my doctor today. I was positive for acute h. pylori infection, which is the bacteria which causes ulcers. The old treatment was just to live with it and deal with the symptoms or a 2 - 4 week drug regimen that was almost worse than the infection! They have since come out with a 1-day treatment which my doctor described as "dropping the nuclear bomb" on the infection. I'll take about 30 pills in one day. It will be one day of misery but I can handle anything for one day. I've been feeling better lately. I've actually have been eating - I wasn't eating much since I wasn't sure what was causing me to get sick. I make sure I never get hungry and always take my Pepcid.
