H pylori In India
I have been treated with PAC once and it failed, second endoscopy showed RUT positive again.
I have been put on Sultamicillin + Doxycycline + deltone for 15 days.
I am always panicking that what if this fails. I don't wanna go ahead with any more antibiotics, i have lost considerable amount of weight, and I look malnourished already.
I am really scared, i am just 25. Please tell me the eradication rates for the current regime i am on?
And if this fails, what should I do!
And how do I gain weight back?
I can't eat fatty foods as I have a tiny(2.9mm) gb polyp and I don't wanna risk my GB too.
Please help me/advice me.
I am getting too much anxious about this :(.

Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Peptic ulcer is a very common problem. Treatment by antibiotics and PPI is successful, but not 100% .
From your history and symptoms it seems you didn't respond to two courses of treatment.
Personally I would not have bid for further courses of treatment. You are being treated by Gastroenterologist , and I suppose they are better than General Physician in treating H Pylori infection. So you should also have symptomatic treatment on as required basis. It doesn't pay to be obsessed with a non life threatening disease.
