Helicobacter pylori is usually detected in two situations. The first is detected by gastric examination when symptoms such as stomach pain, acid reflux, heartburn, indigestion, bloating and early satiety appear; The second type is detected during a normal health examination when there are no symptoms. So basically half of the people carry HP but have no symptoms, and may even remain asymptomatic for life.
How to eradicate?
No one can guarantee that HP can be eradicated by using medicine. One thing to note here is that we are talking about eradication, not elimination. However, some principles and knowledge are put forward here for your reference:
1. The eradication rate of quadruple therapy is significantly higher than that of triple therapy, and a 14-day treatment plan is more recommended. This is To help improve the eradication rate of HP, please note that drugs must be used in combination, and no single antibacterial drug should be used for treatment, nor should you purchase antibacterial drugs by yourself.
So clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and quinolones (levofloxacin, etc.) are the "dead enemies" of Helicobacter pylori if they are not resistant. Expert knowledge of "triple therapy" or "quadruple therapy" is likely to clear or even eradicate HP.
2. Antibiotic resistance is the biggest obstacle that makes HP difficult to eradicate. Therefore, if possible, conduct a drug sensitivity test and then use the full course of treatment in one go.
3. Any detection method has a minimum detection limit. If HP is negative, it does not mean that it has been completely eradicated. It may also mean that the vast majority of HP has been eliminated, and the remaining HP is lower than the detection standard. Negative. Therefore, after stopping the use of bactericidal drugs, review the results immediately. The results obtained do not reflect the eradication status.
4. Before the treatment, be sure to inform the doctor about the antibacterial drugs used in the past and the history of drug allergies. During the treatment process, smoking and drinking will cause huge interference to the treatment and affect the efficiency of HP removal.
5. Some studies have shown that taking probiotics while treating HP may have a significant effect on improving the therapeutic effect. Because after Hp treatment, the intestinal flora will be disturbed to varying degrees and the growth of drug-resistant strains will occur.
6. The oral cavity, as the second gathering place of H. pylori, must also be paid attention to. This may be one of the reasons for the failure of eradication. It is difficult to remove HP from the oral cavity with quadruple therapy, so it is recommended to use bactericidal toothpaste and mouthwash to enhance the treatment effect.
Foods that suppress HP
Don’t rely on diet to eliminate it. No food is the mortal enemy of HP, but there must be some foods that can suppress HP, or even assist it. Therapeutic. But the prerequisite must be based on drug treatment.
Garlic
The main active ingredient is allicin. Many studies have reported that allicin has a significant inhibitory effect on Helicobacter pylori in vitro. Although it is not clear how effective it is in inhibiting bacteria in the body, it is still beneficial to eat some garlic appropriately.
Cabbage
Although cabbage cannot directly inhibit bacteria and sterilize, it does contain natural vitamin U (chlorinated methylthioamino acid). The synthetic chlorinated methylthioamino acid is a An anti-ulcer drug, mainly used to treat gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer. Natural vitamin U is more effective than synthetic vitamin U.
Probiotics
If a certain amount of probiotics can be taken at the same time as treatment, it will be helpful to relieve diarrhea, diarrhea and other symptoms and improve the therapeutic effect. This has also been recognized by experts. recognition. HP cannot be cured and it has its own mortal enemy?
A few days ago, a friend was diagnosed with Helicobacter pylori infection during a physical examination. He went for the examination because of frequent stomach pain, acid reflux and other stomach discomforts. This friend checked it on the Internet and said that HP is difficult to cure and can easily relapse, so he came to me frustrated, holding a half-eaten box of antibiotics in his hand? Here, it is important to emphasize that HP carriers must You cannot buy medicines on your own or use antibiotics indiscriminately. This is a taboo in HP treatment.
The fatal enemy of HP that cannot be cured is antibiotic resistance. Taking antibiotics indiscriminately will inevitably lead to antibiotic resistance. When the time comes when no antibiotic can clear HP, there is really no way. There is also a friend who suffered from cancer. Because of the previous heavy chemotherapy, the HP he carried was resistant to almost any of the antibiotics used in the above therapies. He had no choice but to give up treatment.
So in order to cure HP, it is necessary to do a drug sensitivity test, select sensitive antibiotics, and then use a full course of treatment at one go. Introduction to No Medicine No Medicine
