Brief answer...not to be worried
Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Diarrhoea is very common complaint after taking kit for the H.PYLORI eradication because of the presence of antibiotics in it.
You must make sure that the course is completed because a suspended course won't cure you. Normally this diarrhoea is not very troublesome. You may add a probiotic like VIZYLAC or DAROLAC to your treatment regime.It would help in reducing the number of diarrhoea episodes.
You can continue the same medicines.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck

Doctor told me like diaphragm valve is open condition.
H.PYLORI bacteria can cause any ulcers etc?
Any serious issue with this H.PYLORI?

Hello,
You have hiatus hernia which is a protrusion of upper part of stomach into thorax through a tear or weakness in diaphragm.
Infection with H PYLORI is the cause for most stomach and duodenal ulcers.
In some cases it is responsible for non ulcer dyspepsia also.
There is no seriousness with H.PYLORI infection except the fact that long term infection with H pylori increases the risk of developing stomach cancer.
