A member asked:
Can h. pylori be cured? if yes how long does it usually take? i've been diagnosed for 19 months. and it has been treated but it don't go away. why?

Yes: You likely have a "resistant strain" and a different course of antibiotics will need to be used. By the way the blood test will always be positive even after treatment will need a "breath test" or stool test to confirm cured.
