Is h pylori getting better?
In December i had done an ugi endoscopy, which showed h pylori, i was given sompraz hp kit for 14 days. Prior to diagnosis i had gnawing, stomach burning and lot of smelly fart!
After first treatment, i still had burning stomach sometimes, and lot of smelly flatulence.
Now 2 mnths later, i have being treated with another set of antibiotics, triple therapy only, i am on day 12, i do have stomach pain sometimes but i guess thats due to abx. But my smelly fart has reduced totally, like when i fart it doesn't have any smell, is this an indication of h pylori being eradicated? Please help me.
Due to anxiety of thinking that this treatment will fail too, i am getting scared. I am on penicillin and doxycycline and dexlansoprazole this time. Please guide me.

Anxiety related stress can also give feelings of abdominal discomfort and other related symptoms.
Only way to know about H pylori eradication is by repeat ugi endoscopy and Rapid urease test .
Get it done and a negative report will reduce anxiety and may be the symptoms too.
