Hi Sunny, what is this Mastic Gum?
I have never heard of it and would really like to know more about it, so if you do not mind, won't you post the website?
I am sure many of the readers will find benefit from the information provided there.
I agree, the breath test is best, I myself have antibodies that show that I have the Helicobacter pylori, but I have never, ever had stomach problems... I may be a "carrier" like being a "carrier" of colour blindness, I do not know, but my stomach is made of steel, I can eat anything and everything!
If you do not mind to post the website, I would really appreciate it, many people that come into the pharmacy often want alternative medicine and do not want to go through this horrible regime of eradicating H. pylori!
Thanks:daisy:
Hi Joan ... can we post links to web sites on here ... it is discussion boards all on stomuch problems especially HPylori ... in the mean time I will pm u the link.
Yes I think I have read some people have HPylori but no symptoms ... very lucky indeed .... to my knowlegde it is about the most common bacteria around and in 3rd world countries ... about 95% of the population is infected .... glad to hear u are not having symptoms ... maybe you have managed to eradicate it yourself ... Anyway on the HPylori site .... the specialist Barry Marshall (who discovered HPylori causes ulcers and whose site it is) goes by the user name of Barjammer ... he comes on occasionally to answer questions
