A member asked:
Is it normal to get regularilly constapated after treatment for h pylori, stil have most of symptoms and finished course 1 week ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You took antibiotics: ...That killed off more that just h.Pylori. Your normal bacterial flora of the gut, both bacterial mass as well as composition, was likely altered. Perhaps, during the course of antibiotics you also modified your diet since some h.Pylori regimens are unpleasant to take. Consider starting a probiotic of your choice, optimize dietary fibers, drink more fluids. Still a problem, then see your doctor.
