Hi I had helicobactor pylori 11 yrs ago and was treated for it, however, I continued to have reflux and ended up with a hernia repair. I was ok for around 5 yrs then reflux started up again........tests showed hernia was still closed. I am waiting for another HP breath test and have come off my meds ( omeprazole 20mgs ) and since then I keep getting a severe sharp pain in my stomach.......could this be result of stopping omeprazole? I dont have breath test till next week but dont think I will last without my meds! Anything else I can take, without interfering with the breath test?
His appreciate your concernLooking at your history this could be due to stoppage of omeprazole which can produce rebound increase in acid production leads to aggravation of Gordon can take another alternative of omeprazole like omeprazole or pantoperazoleavoid spicy fatty and junk food have plenty of fluids Abstain smoking and alcohol Hope this helps you thank for your question wish you good health
