HI


Can i ask did most people have H pylori prior to being diagnosed?  Is this a symptom of gastric/stomach cancer?

What were your signs? I cant breathe into the right side my chest is agony and now been told I have this, 1 weeks strong anti biotics then the camera test will be done if it doesn't clear

  • Hi I’m sorry but I haven’t had this, hopefully someone will reply to your post who can answer your question, take care x

  • Hi. I was diagnosed with H Pylori in Dec 23 by my GP and given antibiotics. The feeling I had of my stomach being at war with itself when empty went away however I continued to have acid reflux and pain if I ate a large meal. 

    I had an endoscopy in March and was diagnosed with Linitis Plastica, a rare form of stomach cancer. I also had an ulcer at the time.

    I don’t know much about the linkage or there is one (as none of the doctors have mentioned) however I’m happy to chat further. 

  • Thank you for your reply, Im reading there is a conection to stomach cancer, im on the anti biotics atm but the worry is that my partner had esophageal cancer and I seem to have everything he had.  Hoping it wont be long for the camera test again.  Just thought I would ask some questions so I can be prepared.  Maybe worry too much 

  • Yes I had h pylori, my symptoms were reflux only. However my gastric cancer didn’t develop as though h pylori caused it so we’re not sure if that was the cause or not. 

  • Thanks for your reply chloe I've been following your posts, this is my worry the tablets are making me ill and nothing has changed from I started them, hopefully get the camera in the next 2 weeks
