So, I am taking some Antibotics For H- Pylori

Well, you remember I said my labs came back. They showed that I was deficient in vitamins A & D and calcium. Then they hit me with the big one. I came back positive for H-pylori. What in the Name of God is that? The PA said that it was not a big deal and I just need to pick up some antibiotics and follow the directions on how to take them for the next two weeks.

I did not know what H-pylori was, so I was a bit concerned about this bacteria that was found in my stomach. So I went to Google and YouTube. I found one guy on YouTube that was very clear on describing what h-Pylori is and how to best get rid of it with medication and/or natural remedies to ensure it does not come back.

Check out his video here:

So yeah, there's that. But I am taking my medications. They prescribed me three antibiotics. I take Omeprazole 20mg. 1 capsule 30 minutes before I eat. I take it twice a day. ten after I eat, I take one capsule of Clarithromycin 500mg and two capsules of Amoxicillin 500mg twice a day. 

I decided even though I have a Vitamin A, D, and Calcium deficiency, I will not start taking those vitamin supplements until this H-pylori regiment is complete. However, I will talk to a pharmacist tomorrow to see which Vitamin A, D, and calcium would be good to take as I prepare for the weight loss surgery. 

So, there you have it.
