H pylori

No one told me it was contagious when my grandma had it a few years ago while I was living with her until now so I'm worried I might have it. I'm wondering do I go to my primary doctor and ask to test me or my coordinator? Or just wait till the end of my 6 months when they do the endoscopy.. But if I wait then ill prob have my surgery pushed back to treat the bacteria.

Look I have it before surgery. Now I found out because my surgeon send me to get a endoscopy four weeks before surgery is a requirement for him. Once I got my results they put me on two weeks of antibiotics taking 3000 miligrams daily. I took all the pills and two weeks later I have my surgery with no problems. I also have gerd so I am being taking omeoprazole since a month before surgery and will continue taking it for a year. Good luck to you. Call your doctor and ask him if he required an endoscopy and if he does do it with plenty time.

it is not confirmed how it is transferred but it is certain that if you live with some one and eat after them or share drinks ect you will most likely get it.

[NewAshes 232]

Not certain but they suspect it I mean and you will most likely get it if you live in a household with someone who has it

Ok so I read about it . And it says is true if someone in the family has it the most probably is that everyone has it now. But not necesarilly because it is spread tru feces like if you dont wawh your hands after going to the restroom and then cook for the family then it is spread. Well a least that is what I found. I just hope I did not infect my daughter and husband I am always washing my hands, but I am going to ask her pediatrician when can she get tested.

I was told it can be transferred through shearing food and shearing forks, spoons ect but doctors aren't really sure how it is really transferred
