Hello:

Has anyone had H pylori, a stomach bacterial infection? I have been tired a lot the last couple of years and it was getting worse, along with more and more intestinal problems. I got diarrhea from eating too many dairy products. Lactose supplements helped.

When I started going to bed all day from an all over not well, fatigued illness, I finally quit eating wheat and that helped. After a month I started experiencing debilitating bouts of nausea, which sent me back to a different doctor. He is having me tested for H pylori bacteria, but have not gotten the results back yet. Research on the net is helping.

I stopped taking antiacids and started taking pink bismuth and powdered acidophilus to control stomach upset and nausea. This is helping. I'd really like to hear from others out there that have had this infection. It seems like it is related to food intolerances. Thank-you!

I just some biopsies taken on Monday - my doctor suspected that I may have some sort of infection, low stomach acid, or Celiac - I will be able to tell you more when I get my test results back sometime at the end of next week.

H Pylori was mentioned in my case, but I am still a 'mystery'...

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      Unless your blood antibody levels are 10x the celiac disease positive level they usually do an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      I haven't had any of this blood work and my GI doctor immediately scheduled the endoscopy with biopsy based on the large area of inflammation found during my colonoscopy and me relating all the other symptoms I'm experiencing. If the blood testing is positive do you still have to have the endoscopy with a positive biopsy to be definitively diagnosed with celiac? Seems like a waste of money and risk to do it backwards 😕

      glutened?

      Many super sensitive celiacs do have issues with this, especially if they work in a bakery or area where flour may be in the air. Some even seem to have issues being in areas where bread is being baked. Here are some threads here on this:
