Hi i am just going through hell with my stomach ,high up near my diaphram.As most of you know i had blood test for helicobacter which was positive but im waiting on the breath test to see if that also positive before i take antibiotics as most people would test positive with the blood test as it only means you have been exposed to the bug at some point it dosent mean its active,but the breath test can say wether it active or not.To be honest im half hoping it is positive as at least i will know whats causing these awfull symptoms.I was on omeprazole for 2 weeks but had to stop them cos you cant take them for 2 weeks before the breath test.Even though the omeprazole didnt stop the burping ,i could eat more comfortably and the acid was gone.My symptoms are a constant knawing knot feeling at top of stomach like where the osephagus meets the stomach ,sometimes i get a burning there but mostly a heavy feeling,i burp constantly,or i feel like i need to burp constantly.Sometimes i have nausea and when i eat i feel full straight away and it takes ages to digest the food.Im in hell right now as it just a constant knawing not a pain just a horrid feeling.I dont no how long its going to take to get the breath test ,anyone had it and how long did you wait to get it?I really am struggiling today ,im back to my thoughts of the c word.Ive had these symptoms over 3 months now and just cant cope with it anymore.Anyone that had helicobacter what was your symptoms kind regards mollyxx
