A member asked:

Should h pylori be treated i sometimes had epigastric pain wich relieved by ppi with gases and no other complaints i previously tried atriple therapy for the h pylori but it failed so what is your advice?

Dr. Hiep Le answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

The treatment failed because of the side effects or H. Pylori persisted after the treatment. By UPTODATE: approximately 20 percent of patients fail an initial attempt at H. pylori eradication. Your doctor can prescribe a different regimen so you can stay away from PPI forever along with its possible adverse effects.
