I've had it the once, nannybob. Had the triple therapy with immediate success a few months back and am now hoping never to get it again!

Poor you nannybob Yes, about 15 years ago. I'd suffered with stomach problems for many many years without an answer and a newly qualified GP at my surgery had me to take the breath test which proved H Pylori bacteria. Triple antibiotics for 10 days (knocked me for six!) but it worked...no more pain, wonderful. 1 year later H Pylori returned. My GP explained that about 10% of sufferers have to take a second round of antibiotics. That second dose did the job. No problem since.

I had one a couple of years ago and I have the discomfort back but not as bad. I am worried it might be returning.
Mine seemed to return following a general stomach upset. Whether or not they are related I don't know. I don't have any reflux problems.

Oh shoot, bad luck nannybob. Let's hope the therapy gets rid of it for good this time.
