Feb 2012

I had H Pylori a few years back and it was awful. Stomach hurt almost constantly. Doc took a blood test to find it. Then I had 3 weeks of super strong antiobiotic and 2 penicillin pills twice per day. My mouth was fried. All food tasted like it had a tablespoon of horseradish on it. But I got rid of it. I decided if I had money I would make H Pylori my cause in third world countries where many of the people have it. Every time I hear about the poor water quality in those countries I wince thinking of the pain those poor people are in.
