Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

I appreciate your concerns.

The gut flora has altered due to anti-H.pylori therapy.

You will improve with a 2 weeks' course of a combination of a
Probiotic, such as, Lactobacilli and Digestive Pancreatic enzymes. Continue with PPIs, such as, Rabeprazole/Esmoprazole for at least 2 months for complete cure.

Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain he will agree with me and prescribe the advised medicines in appropriate doses.

If you are satisfied with the reply, please do give a 5-star rating, so as to encourage all doctors- who are dedicating their services to providing free advice.

Take care,

Col (Dr.) Rakesh Karanwal
