I have been treated 3 times in last 6 months and finally got rid of the bacteria. I do have lingering symptoms like stomach burning sometimes but yeah very mild and far far better than before. I believe changing my dietary habits has improved the healing process. But another thing that's bothering me is, my social life, if I go out with someone, i am so hesitant to kiss that person, i mean even if I want to I cannot connect with them, that fear of contracting h pylori again devastated my social life. Is kissing a way of transmission? I am very worried about my future partner to, that what If i let him down due to my own insecurities. Please guide me.
