If I had to heal my H. pylori, this is what I would do.
First, I wouldn't just kill the bacteria. I would understand why my body let it take over. H. pylori doesn't infect healthy, strong stomachs. It infects stomachs already struggling.
1.Low acid.
2.Weak lining.
3.Compromised immunity.
So before antibiotics, I would restore my stomach acid. My stomach needs to be strong enough to fight back. Then take the antibiotics. Strong stomach plus antibiotics equals bacteria actually dies and stays dead.
While on antibiotics, I would protect my gut lining. My lining is already damaged.
Antibiotics will damage it more. I'm preparing my gut to survive them.
After antibiotics, I would NOT jump to probiotics immediately. I would wait. Let the candida bloom. Then address the candida first. Only after candida is controlled would I introduce beneficial bacteria. Wrong timing equals trading one infection for another.
I would test my stomach acid after treatment.
Low acid after H. pylori is the norm. I would continue restoring it for months post-treatment. No acid means H. pylori loves your stomach again. No acid means candida thrives. No acid means nutrients don't absorb.
I would address what my body was holding that let H. pylori take over. Was my nervous system constantly activated?
That suppresses acid. Was I stressed? That burns immunity.
Was I suppressing my needs?
That weakens my gut. Killing bacteria without addressing this equals same pattern, different infection.
I would give myself 6 months to fully heal. Not 6 weeks. The bacteria dies in 2 weeks. The damage takes 6 months. If I rush this, I'm setting up the next infection. If I do this properly, I'm actually healing.
