Hi all I’ve been experiencing epigastric (upper stomach) burning and pain accompanied by constant trapped burns, metallic taste in mouth and messed up bowel movements. Contacted GP they’ve asked me to do a stool sample to rule out h pylori. Ofcourse this sent me into a panic and I started googling, found h pylori can cause stomach cancer and now I’m worried the pain I’m experiencing is stomach cancer. I know hpylori can lay dormant and cause silent damage and result in stomach ulcers and cancer so now I’m terrified if I do have it I’ve found it too late.
Does anybody have any experience with this horrible bacteria ?
