I'm really confused about my H. pylori infection results. I've been dealing with gastritis for about three months now. After finishing two rounds of antibiotics, the first test still showed a positive result for H. pylori. I just had an endoscopy and the RUT test came back positive too. But then, on the other hand, the histopathology report from six biopsy samples says there's no H. pylori colonization. Which one should I trust?

It seems there is a discrepancy between the RUT (rapid urease test) and the biopsy results. The RUT is positive, suggesting H. pylori presence, while the biopsy shows no colonization. In such cases, the biopsy results are generally considered more accurate as it involves a deeper tissue sample. It would be advisable to consult your doctor for further evaluation, as other factors could influence these results.

I'm dealing with IBS and was diagnosed with depression about 1.5 years ago. I've been taking fludac 20, but recently I've been having bowel movements 6-7 times a day, and they're fragmented. It's not like diarrhea but it's been going on for 5 days with some stomach cramps. Usually, taking metrogyl 400 clears it up in a day, but this time it's not helping. I started taking norflox tz yesterdaytwice dailyand I'm feeling a little better, but there's still this urge for bowel movement and some cramps. Any thoughts on what might be happening or what else I should do?
continue the same medication

I have gallbladder stones and my doctor prescribed FORTIBILE300 for 3 months. Will this medicine actually dissolve the stones or will I eventually need surgery? I'm worried about whether this treatment is effective long-term or just a temporary fix.
