Question 1

I've been dealing with acid reflux for the past couple of years and recently got an endoscopy that showed I have an H. pylori infection. I've been on the Nexpro HP kit but still haven't found any relief. Could you suggest what I might try next or what else might be going on?

Accepted Answer

Since you have been diagnosed with H. pylori infection and have been taking Nexpro HP kit without relief, I would recommend a different treatment approach. You can try a combination therapy with antibiotics such as Amoxicillin and Clarithromycin along with a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole. This combination therapy is often effective in eradicating H. pylori infection and relieving symptoms of acid reflux.

Question 2

I'm experiencing some digestive issues where I feel the urge to go to the bathroom after every meal or even just a snack. It's really concerning me. Could you please help me figure out what's going on and how I might be able to manage it?

Accepted Answer

An eosinophil count of 5 is slightly elevated, as the normal range is typically between 0-4%. Elevated eosinophils can indicate allergies, asthma, parasitic infections, or certain autoimmune disorders. Consult your doctor to determine the underlying cause. Remedies may include antihistamines, corticosteroids, or immunomodulators, depending on the underlying condition.

Question 3

I've had fistula surgery a week ago and was told to take Smuth syrup, 15ml dosage, but it led to diarrhea. I cut back to 10ml, which helped with the stool softness, but I'm still going to the bathroom twice a day. Is it okay if I drop it down to 5ml? What should I do?

Accepted Answer

You can try reducing the dose of Smuth syrup to 5ml, but consult your surgeon or doctor first, as they may recommend adjusting the dose based on your individual needs and bowel movements, and also ensure you're drinking plenty of water and eating fiber-rich foods to support a smooth recovery from fistula surgery.
