A member asked:
My mom has h.pylori bacteria. she took antibiotics for a few days but it made her sick. then she took nexium (esomeprazole) for several years. any natural therapies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None.: None that work. H. Pylori is a pretty resistant organism and usually requires a concerted antibiotic attack.
