A 40-year-old female asked:
Can your stomache get big because of h-pilory?

Dr. James Cunnar answered

Nope: H. Pylori infection doesn't cause increase in abdominal (or visceral) fat, nor does it increase gas production (giving patients a "bloated" feeling, which can make your stomach "big"). It is a main cause of peptic ulcers. The usual symptom is pain centered above the belly button, which can be aggravated by being hungry.

What does it mean when you feel a pulse in your stomache?

Normal: The aorta is the largest artery in your body. It travels against your spine just to the left of the midline. If you are thin and push hard enough you can feel it just like the pulse in your wrist.

A member asked:
What can I take to make my stomache fell better from taken antibotics?
1 doctor answer • 1 doctor weighed in

Dr. STEPHEN GIROUX answered

It depends on which: Antacids can help make your stomach feel better as some antibiotics can irritate the stomach. The antibiotic (depending on which one) probably should be taken with food to avoid stomach irritation. An antacid may relieve the stomach irritation but may not be able to be taken at the same time as the antibiotic- depending on which one you are on.
