Helicobacter Pylori Infection
"Two years ago I began having symptoms of H Pylori.  The first episode lasted about 20 minutes.  It was a terrible pain in my upper abdomen. The pain was more intense than gas pain, but I wrote it off as such.  After that, every 3 months or so I would be woken up by the same terrible pain and I always knew I wasn&#039;t getting sleep that night as it would last 4-6 hours and I could not get comfortable.  I had one of those night episodes, but the pain wouldn&#039;t go away.  It wasn&#039;t constantly the same degree of pain, some times it would be a churning pain, a bloated pain, or a general soreness.  After a week,  went to the doctor and was tested positive for H Pylori.  There was a huge difference/day 3 and the pain was just about gone/day 4.  Amazing"
