Helicobacter Pylori Infection
"I had a Duodenal Switch (a major weight loss surgery combining the vertical sleeve with rearranging one&#039;s intestines to minimize fat absorption) 9 yrs ago.  Since then I&#039;ve had probs with gas and a stomach ulcer, both caused by H Pylori.  I&#039;ve taken Flagyl twice.  I am now on Day 5 of this round, &amp; I don&#039;t experience most of the side effects I see described.  (250 mg 3X per day) While the pill doesn&#039;t &quot;taste&quot; great, there are other meds that also don&#039;t, and I find this no more severe than those.  I don&#039;t  have a lingering bad taste.  I&#039;ve had no diarrhea and have had more regular bowel movements.  I&#039;ve had almost no gas.  My pain is gone.  I don&#039;t feel sick.  I am grateful for this drug!"
