I had a chronic case of H.pylori that I could not eradicate for a year and half. After 3 course of strong antibiotics/acid pump reducers lasting 2 weeks each, I was finally able to get rid of it. People, H.pylori is no joke. Many people carry H.pylori bacteria with no untoward effect. But when it gets you, it's an infection that needs to taken and treated very seriously. Thank you for the post!
