just been treated with h pylori but the mark it has left on me is so huge. now i am continuously thinking of catching again. since it is asymptomatic to other people im more scared that they might transmit it. im constantly checking my stomach whether the pain is from this bacteria or not i don't wanna go another round of antibiotic. because resistance. even though im fine sometimes mind goes to my stomach sensation if i feel slight pain my mind straight goes to this bacteria.

Would you feel this way with a cold or tonsillitis? A bacterial infection can be treated. Sometimes it takes more than once round of treatment but thats ok. I understand your concern though. My son had A staph infection and it caused impetigo in his nose or any spots. When it did come back after antibiotics we tried a few until the 3rd worked and it hasn't come back in over a year. Dr was never concerned or thought he needed anymore stronger treatment but I was worrying yet there was no need to! Hope you're free to forget it all in a few weeks!

Totally understand I don't like taking them either. I panic about side effects and them not working but so far that has never been the case and they've always done exactly what they're supposed to Ans solved the problem eventually. The same will happen for you too!
