H pylori, Pangastiritis - endoscopy
2022, July my husband diagnosed with h.pylorie positive and pangastiritis. His only symptom was heavy bloating after food only. But after endoscopy and taking antibiotics the problem was symptomatically 80 % solved. But he missed to follow proper diet . Since one month the problem was symptomatically started again. Then, he took Monrab IT tablet for 1 week, ( monrab IT , the doctor was prescribed) ... Now he is stopped the medicine and following the proper diet and physical activities... Now the problem is almost cured... He don't have that much of bloating after food
Here my question is should I go to next endoscopy again?????
Reoccurrence of h pylori is possible after taking antibiotics ???
Is any risk factors (means , re-infections ) are possible???

Next endoscopy: No
Failure of eradication is common rather than recurrence.
Risk factors and solutions: Avoid recurrence by maintaining good personal hygiene, avoid contaminated water, avoid shared meals, shared dental brushing tools etc.
Next Steps
Go for H. Pylori testing in stool. *H. Pylori Antigen test in stool* to demonstrate eradication of H. pylori.
if symptoms recur start same medicine again for 12 weeks.
