Also, H. pylori in the stomach is well hidden and not easily be killed by sparkling water.
- Wash your hands after you use the bathroom and before you prepare or eat food. Teach your children to do the same.
- Avoid food or water that’s not clean.
- Don’t eat anything that isn’t cooked thoroughly.
- Avoid food served by people who haven’t washed their hands.
Lbt, thank you explain more.

Lbt, gracias, por explicar mas.

i think you need to control your acid by PPI or at least a month until your ulcer is fully healed, then wait another month for the follow up breath test to find out if your treatment is working. There are still a couple of backup antibiotics that you can use, eg. levofloxacin, rifabutin, bismuth, amoxicillin and furazolidone. So dont worry too much.
by the way, HP will never get resistance to Amox and bismuth. So it would be a good idea to discuss with your doctor about the possibility of using that PPI (double dose) + Amox + Bismuth + Levofloxacin.
