When you guys were doing the antibiotics to treat your h-pylori, did any of you have stomach cramps? I hate to go into too much detail but itll cramp up and then not too long afterwards I'll have to use the bathroom. Anyone have any crazy side effects?

Yes, and also had bad matalic taste in mouth like sucking on a penny all the time. Not pleasant but must complete full regiment to make sure it works.

I just went through the antibiotic treatment and it is tough but I found if I took the pills exactly at the same time everyday and followed by a probiotic a couple hours later it was manageable. Unfortunately it doesn't help the taste though. Good luck

Thanks! I take two antibiotics and then a prilosec all at the same time every twelve hours. I hope I am taking them right

I had that bad penny taste too, but took a specific probiotic to prevent any other 'problems'.

Mine was successfully eradicated with no cramping & potty. I've never heard of needing to suffer through antibiotics.

I mean the pains not excruciating but ita almost like period cramps. Maybe just everything making its way thru the bowels and whatnot?

Wow! I was supposed to be on this antibiotic as well, but I my doctor called me and told me not to start it because my surgery is scheduled for August 1st which is next Monday. Looks like I dodged a bullet. When is your surgery????

They have yet to even give me a date! They want me to finish everything before they give me a date. I have five more days of these antibiotics.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
