H Pylori

Hello my husband tested postive for the H Pylori infection a couple of weeks ago after a stool sample. He has been suffering vomiting and very bad acid for the past couple of years. Our regular Dr just kept prescribing Ant Acid medication for this rather than do any tests. Anyway he has a phone appointment tomorrow with the Dr who was more on the ball. Should my husband ask if he can can have the camera or do they tend not to to this after youve been on treatment for the infection. I must add that my husband is very tired the majority of the time but if im honest i think that might be down to the amount of time he spends working but this tiredness has been ongoing for some time. Many Thanks

  • Hello Gracesmum

    I'm sorry to hear that your husband has had some health problems recently. I hope that the phone consultation he had with a GP this week gave him some answers and some reassurance about things.

  • Hello Jenn

    Thank you for taking the time to reply to me. Well my husband had his telephone appointment with the GP. He mentioned about his change of voice and the tiredness but he didnt seem to concerned. Hes supplied him with 3 packs of 28 steriods to take, my husband has already had two lots over the last few weeks. To be honest im a bit confused about the steriods. He doesnt think my husband needs the camera into the tummy at this time.

    Many Thanks
