[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 541588, member: 805"] [FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3]Janet, this is why I wondered in one of my last posts why they didn't order an upper endoscopy. H pylori is a possibility - my mother has had two bouts of it in the last ten years. Hers didn't present with extreme pain like yours - her flair ups were feeling stuffed and bloated after only a small about of food (and you could feel the "hardness" of her bloating when touching her stomach area) and a lot of belching. If you have a bad case, it can definitely cause gi inflammation and it also can go hand in hand with stomach ulcers. Did the doctor offer to do the test for hp? They can do both a blood test and a breath test. They have to be sure that is the culprit because it's a pretty intense triple or quadruple therapy. Make sure that gi appointment is considered an emergency. You need a camera down your upper gi (endoscopy) to see if there is visible inflammation, etc. If you are now unable to keep things down, you aren't getting any nutrients. Kinda personal question - are you going #2? Are your stools "normal"? Black sticky stools is another symptom some show with hp. Janet, I'm sorry you are dealing with so much pain - it s u c k s. Might want to try eating the BRAT way - bananas, rice, applesauce and dry toast. I would also suggest eating some good yogurt as well. A number of docs add this and tea to the brat diet.
