Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 hello Greg, You need to get a test for helicobacter pylori and see if that is causing the symptoms.You may be right and it is an ulcer (helico are implicated in ulcer formation) but it will heal better if the causal problem is removed. If it is Helico the natural way to remove it is using mastic gum. I have not tried this myself but it is suppossed to be good.When I sufferred with this problem I went the allopathic way ( I did not Know about mastic gum then) and had an antibiotic and acid suppressant which in all due respect worked and I have been indigestion and ulcer free since. My GP said that as you get older the incidence of helico increases i.e. 40% of 40year olds and 70%of seventy year olds have it.This just shows what a hold the drug manufacturers have on the GPs if they know this why when people go to them with these symptoms do they fob them off with just an acid suppressant which on its own will not kill the bacterium and so you continue to have the symptoms if the medication stops. I had to insist on a test before I could get the right treatment. I hope this works Best wishes Chris _________ BT Broadband - Free modem offer, sign up online today and save £80 http://bt..co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
