Hello TrendyN6,
My late husband suffered from gut pain for years & years. Everytime we ate out he'd wake in the night with terrible guts ache. Suspected ulcer, Gaviscon and other drugs prescribed throughout the years. Then, long story, but I heard about HP. GP listened, did a test, came back positive for HP! Antibiotics cured him and hey presto, happy hubby!
Latterly, I too have suffered reflux, pain, doubled up with it sometimes but then ....tooth abscess occured. Dentist prescribed antibiotics for it two years last May. Suddenly no pain, no reflux, no more distressing nights, no more Omeprazole or antacids! Could those antibiotics have "cured" my abscess & gut pain? Who knows but I'm so relieved.
