I have been diagnosed with h pylori by an egd 6 months ago but i haven't finished the antibiotic treatment. have i done considerable damage to my stomach by delaying treatment? i take a daily ppi and sucralfate for symtom relief. my age is 18 years?

your ilness will not improvewithout appropriate treatment. The antibiotic treatment recommended is very effective. I strongly recommend you seek out your physician, and complete your treatment and get good follow-up at completion.
