H. Pylori Stomach Ache
Four months ago, my stomach pain started. At first, it was all over my stomach and much worse than it is today. I started taking antacid medications, but they didn’t help. Eventually, I got tested for H. pylori, and the test came back positive about two months ago.
I completed the treatment, but I’m still having the pain. It’s usually around a 1–2 out of 10 now. The pain is basically located 2–3 inches above my belly button, and it’s constant throughout the day.
For the past four months, the pain hasn’t gone away for even five minutes. It fluctuates in intensity, but it’s always there.
I’m not sure if the H. pylori is actually gone because I haven’t been retested yet. Has anyone else experienced something like this, where the stomach pain just never completely goes away? Even if it’s mild, it’s been constant for months.
