I am on day 11 of 2 abx and prevacaid for h. pylori. my llmd said I need at least 3 weeks, but I read so many recovering in 10 days. I still have symptoms. Each day is different. 3 days ago, I felt I made headway, feeling better. Today, not so great. LLMD said I need at least 3 weeks to know if abx is working. I am soo impatient, and always worried. I was tested positive for it, and I have all the wonderful symptoms, including fullness in stomach after eating, and even stomach pain, throat pain, chest pain... Also, on day 2 of abx, I ate som tomotoes, onions, and bulger wheat. After eating, I felt like I was going to explode. IT lasted exactly 26 hours. I took a biaxin the next day, and intense pain was gone, just like that. Was it the food, a herx.....I have never used amoxy and biaxin for lyme, only bicillin shots, zith, levaquin, flagl, so can I be resistant to the abx? Can someone who has had this, and took a while to recover, tell me about thier experience? Jenin

I can't answer all your questions but personally, I would go by what your LLMD tells you.
I tested positive and was treated for 10 days. I have it back now or at least I have all the symptoms back so I assume I have it back. Energetic testing shows that I have it, my husband has it and my dog has it.
My regular doctor treated it the first time after I asked her to run a test for it and the test came back positive. At the time, my dentist said to be sure and get my husband treated because it runs in families and is contagious. Both of my sisters had it and so do I.
My doctor didn't agree. My husband didn't get treated. I could have gotten it back from him or maybe it wasn't gone to begin with. I will say that my symptoms were gone for quite awhile but then I was taking monolaurin after treatment and that also treats h.pylori.
Now I will be trying to get rid of the infection via alternative treatment. I will treat my husband, my dog and myself.
Soooo, consider treating everyone in your family AND take the prescription long enough so you don't have to do it again!
