I have been treated with antibiotics for her. pylori twice.i tend to let go smelly gas?does it mean that the bacteria is still there?

NO: but it may mean that your intestinal bacteria are being affected by the antibiotic usage! Discuss with your Gastroenterologist. In the meantime try eating a PRO-BIOTIC yogurt (EXAMPLE Activa) Hope this helps! Dr Z

Not necessarily.: Foul-smelling flatulence does not specifically indicate the presence of H. Pylori bacteria in your stomach. There is testing that will let us know if it's still there.
