Does Long Term Exposure To Mold Cause H.pylori?
I live in my husbands house that has tested positive for penicillium. I have been suffering since I moved to his house. There is a possibility I have h pylori. Could the long term exposure to mold cause this? My husband does not believe it is possible. I have told my doctor there is mold in the house and asked for a toxicity test. I have been told there is no test for mold in the body. Help!!

Thank you dear, you know H.pylri is bacteria, but mold is fungus, here is no connection. But you remove mold and treat you Helicobacter infection by scheme.
For eradication of H.pylori I recommend the first line treatment( triple therapy) with:
1. PPI (lansoprazole 30 mg twice daily, omeprazole 20 mg twice daily, pantoprazole 40 mg twice daily, rabeprazole 20 mg twice daily, or esomeprazole 40 mg once daily).
2. Amoxicillin (1 g twice daily)
3. Clarithromycin (500 mg twice daily) for 7 days.
I wishing you a good health
