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?

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.

I had surgery for piles a while ago and have been using laxatives for about 9-10 months to help with recovery. Now I can't seem to pass stool without them. How do I know if I've become dependent on laxatives and what can I do to fix this?
Long-term laxative use may cause dependence; gradually taper under medical supervision and increase fiber and hydration.

I'm really worried because I accidentally swallowed some chewing gum earlier. I know people say not to swallow it, but it happened so quickly. I've been drinking a lot of water since then and am wondering if that will help the gum get digested and pass through on its own. Do you think it will just come out naturally or is there something else I should be doing? Id really appreciate your advice on this.
