Make sure to get your bloodwork done after you are done with SABA (or between breaks) for H. Pylori. My H. Pylori Ab was 6 times than it should be. Good ol' triple therapy for me.
Just wanted to remind everyone...

By the way what is the most common treatment for H. Pylori?




Lansoprazole (for the acid), Clarithromycin and Amoxicillin (for the bug) is that right?

I never had any problems on the island. But H. Pylori is extremely common in the Latin America and Caribbean. Infact, I remember reading that over 98% of people in Latin America have positive serology for H. Pylori. H.Pylori is known to cause ulcers and even gastric cancer, so its better to rid yourself of it. I'm sure you can read more about it on wikipedia in case you are unaware :P

yup, one PPI + 2 antibiotics.
