after over a month and several tests my doctors figured out that my stomach doesn't empty properly. I have some medication I have to take 30min before each meal and it seems to be helping
2. Do you drink a lot of water? No
3. Where do you feel a deep pain ? When u touch ? ... around my naval
4. Do u noticed any physical differences in your body ? the same bloating - lasting a few dys so far.
5. Did u tried to do a diet to overpass the problem ? Not yet.
I got a h. pylori (heliobacter) infection after eating at a Mexican restaurant near the US/MEX border. Never again. I am so done with eating out.
Anyway, after doing a lot of research online, here is what I've done to knock these bacteria out after 20 days.
Thjs is what you will need if you are sure that you have h. pylori (I AM NOT A MEDICAL DOCTOR):
1. Plain kefir, such as Nancy's Dairy
2. Natren Digestalac Probiotic
3. Natren Healthy Trinity Probiotic, enteric capsules
4. Medical magnets such as those sold on amazon.com (4 is what I used)
5. Waterproof or paper medical tape to tape the magnets on your stomach area/abdomen
I learned online that the traditional medical treatment of taking a series of three different pills twenty times per day has a failure rate of at least 15% right off the bat.
This is what I've learned and have successfully done:
1. Kefir will kill h pylori outright. I live in the USA and here, Nancy's Dairy produces a plain kefir which is the brand I am using. The fruit kefirs (peach, blackberry, strawberry) are only somewhat helpful. The plain is the best and is what I drink at all hours of the day and night - symptoms are worse at night - the kefir will alleviate these symptoms and I felt my stomach "cleaner" after ingesting especially after the first time.
2. Natren Probiotics. I have a book on probiotics by Natasha Trenev and she says L. Bulgaricus will kill h pylori. I am using both dairy and non-dairy powdered forms. This is available in the USA - Natren is the company - natren dot com.
3. Also a Natren Probiotic is an expensive but worth it product which has all 3 of the beneficial bacteria in an specially-coated capsule which survives stomach acid and opens in the intestine giving a super powerful immune boost to the intestines. h pylori causes stomach ulcers at the base of the stomach, so to battle it at both ends (oral & digestive tract) I am using it in addition to the bulgaricus powder (4T per day throughout the day). One capsule of the Natren Healthy Trinity capsules; expensive at $109.00 USD but worth every cent. natren dot com
4. Tape medical magnets to your abdomen - these magnets give off a Positive charge and bacteria such as h. pylori can only live in a negatively-charged environment. Here is a link to the ones I used:
http://www.amazon.com/Neodymium-Magnets-Coated-Magnetic-Therapy/dp/B00129I7TY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1310581245&sr=8-1
The magnets create a positively charged environment that the bacteria cannot live in. I left the magnets on for hours at a time taking them off only to shower so they do not get wet. Takes about 3 days for me to notice a huge difference and one week to return to normal.
I noticed about 1/2 hour after taping on the magnets (one on each quad of my abdomen or right on areas where I felt most discomfort), that the area inside my stomach felt "cleaner" and a day or so later I could feel where the pylori took up residence and where a subsequent sore or wound had developed. The medical magnet placed over this area really helped get rid of these bacteria and now the wound healing could take place.
GIVE YOURSELF TIME TO HEAL - AT LEAST A WEEK AFTER THE BACTERIA ARE GONE TO ALLOW YOUR STOMACH SORES TO HEAL.
No caffeine, no alcohol. Drink Classic Coke to settle your stomach if you feel nauseous.
While on my plan, I wrote: "I am eating a diet that consists of fresh fruit and vegetables and some grains. Last night I was able to eat my first pita breads - up until then, I made a wheat or oat cereal."
"This is what I am eating (during treatment):
Breakfast and throughout the day along with the kefir:
1 orange, navel
Sliced cantaloupe melon
homemade oatmeal, no seasonings or sweetner or butter
homemade wheatmeal, no seasonings or sweetner or butter
small green salad, minimal olive oil in the oil & vinegar salad dressing
steamed broccoli
steamed asparagus
No oils or fats; no animal proteins; no sugars or honey; no carbonated beverages unless you need Classic Coke (NOT Diet and not a generic brand, but the real deal: Coca Cola Classic). btw, every pharmacy sells "syrup of cola" because in the old days, coca cola was a medicinal remedy for upset stomach and nausea, like that associated with pregnancy nausea.
When you are feeling better and can feel the sore spots and ulcers scabbing over in your tummy, then a small cup of organic milk low fat cottage cheese.
I had my first protein, hard-boiled egg and hot dog after 7 days of treatment.
Best to all."
Sorry this is so long, but I really don't want anyone else to suffer through this condition.
Again, if you are unsure of what you have, please see a medical doctor for a diagnosis and treatment. You may have some other condition other than a bacteria infection.
Take care.
I mistakenly stated in my post above "Positive."
"4. Tape medical magnets to your abdomen - these magnets give off a Positive charge and bacteria such as h. pylori can only live in a negatively-charged environment."
I have it reversed: the bacteria love to live in Positive enviro and the Negative-charge will kill them off.
The magnets I used are made by MagneLyfe. One magnet is 1-1/2" Bio Magnetic disk at 1600 gauss.
The other two are rated at over 10,000 gauss.
The fourth one I used is a spiral bio-magnet which is no longer available.
Sorry for the error, there is no "Edit" function which lasts for 48 hours - this longevity would be helpful.
About two months ago, i was staying at my friends house, and one morning I woke up, and I felt terrible. For the next two days, I couldn't eat very much, if anything. Since then I only eat about two meals a day, and they are roughly half the size of my normal meals. I almost never eat breakfast, and if I do it's on the bus going to school, or during classes. I've recently started running, and that hasn't helped my appetite either. I find that especially after the hard days, my appetite is even smaller. Most days I only eat because my parents force me to eat something. My parents, friends and I are rather worried about this, and I think it's really affecting my performance in sports because I can't put forth enough effort to do my best because I get dizzy. I drink plenty of water and gatorade everyday. If anybody knows what could have caused this or how I can better, please let me know. I want to be able to eat again. Thank you.
Have you had a HIDA Scan? I had similar symptoms for years and was frequently told that it was IBS. Finally a doctor listened to me and ordered an ultrasound. It showed no gall stones but my doctor was determined to really check before dismissing it as IBS. The HIDA Scan indicated that my gallbladder wasn't properly functioning (to be frank, it was barely functioning at all. I had the gall bladder removed and I was feeling better within 4 days of surgery.
It was not caught earlier because I do not have any of the typical risk factors for gallbladder problems (age, weight, family history). I have, however, been on birth control for the long term. One side effect of all birth control is the potential for gall bladder issues.
Check with your doctor. And, don't forget to remind them that ultimately it is your health and you should have some control over your care. Good luck.
