H. pylori ?

[v3rrv3]

Hey,
It's this really lame bacterial infection you can get that I recently acquired. Anyone here had it before? Did it come back? Just curious as I'm on like 4 drugs right now to get rid of it.

PS For anyone that has no clue I found it's really common, 30% of the adult population has it but may not know it.

STD? Nope, it's a bacterial infection of the stomach that can cause ulcers. Just curious if anyone has any experience with it.

Funny how for years doctors thought stomach ulcers were caused by stress, and they're not. It was one doctor that knew it was caused by bacteria and completely curable with antibiotics, yet nobody believed him until recently.
