What Causes Stomach Pain During H Pylori Infection?
I ve completed triple therapy for H pylori bacteria, but I still feel a stinging pain from time to time in my stomach and chest area. My doctor started me on Protonix which seems to help but by the end of the day I still feel the pain and uneasiness. Stool test showed that H pylori was negative.

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.
Welcome to Health Care Magic.
My name is Dr Muhammad Ahmad & i will look into your problem.
I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way.
Stomach has such a strong acid in it that if you fill a drum of this acid and throw a cow in it ,kit would disappear in one hour,,,,that's our mucous membrane and protective layers and mechanisms saving us from this acid and Hpylori disrupts that protective layer and when this acid touches and burns our stomach wall it hurts us...
That's the reason when we treat H.Pylori we give antibiotics but we also add acid lowering drugs with it as well because the ulcers H.pylori has created are so dangerous that your own acid can burn you and dissolve you like chicken curry you ate last night in Johny's party :)
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health
