A member asked:
I had h.pylori infx treated w/prevpac, egd confirmed ulcer healed and stool antigen test confirmed h.pylori eradicated in oct'12. why symptoms returned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some thing else: Pain returning after h.Pylori eradication and ulcer healing could be due to reinfection with h.Pylori, recurrence of ulcer unrelated to h.Pylori, non-ulcer dyspepsia, or pain arising from gallbladder or pancreas.
