Question 1

I've been dealing with nausea, stomach pressure, acidity, and weight loss even though I've been eating normally. Recently, after getting an upper endoscopy, they found I have antral gastritis and tested positive for H. pylori. So, I'm on Nexpro L, Gaviscon syrup, an H. pylori treatment kit, and a probiotic. It's been 8 days on these meds, with another week to go. While my symptoms have improved and I'm feeling better, I'm still dropping weight. I'm really confused and a bit worried why this is happening. Could it be because of the H. pylori infection? Once the treatment's over, will I be able to gain weight back? I used to weigh around 71 kg last year; now I'm down to 65.5 kg. I also have piles, and it's kind of freaking me out. How should I approach gaining weight again?

Accepted Answer

Kindly discuss for your concern.

Question 2

I've been dealing with diarrhea on and off for over a week and a half now, and in between, my stools have turned this chalky white color. It's got me a bit worried, especially because I'm nursing and don't want to pass anything to my baby, even though she seems alright. I had the stomach flu about three weeks ago and then traveled, and this issue started when I got back. Is it possible that it's linked to the stomach flu, or could it be some kind of viral infection that just flared up again? What's going on and should I be really concerned about this?

Question 3

I'm a bit concerned because I've been taking rabeprazole and domperidone for a couple of months now, but I haven't really noticed a lot of relief. Lately, I've also started feeling this soreness at the back of my throat, like there's some food stuck or something, even though there's no pain or trouble swallowing. Is it possible that this could be related to H. Pylori, and is it known to be difficult to treat? I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.

Accepted Answer

Based on your WBC (White Blood Cell) count:

_Normal WBC range_: 4,000-11,000 cellsL
_Your WBC count_: 12,100 cellsL (mildly elevated)

_Elevated WBC count possible causes_:

1. _Stress_: Stress can cause a temporary increase in WBC count.
2. _Infection_: Mild infections, like a cold or flu, can also cause elevated WBC.
3. _Inflammation_: Yoga and pranayama are great, but intense physical activity can cause temporary inflammation, leading to elevated WBC.

_Monitor and adjust_:

1. _Repeat WBC test_: After a few days to see if the count returns to normal.
2. _Manage stress_: Continue yoga and pranayama, and consider additional stress-reducing techniques.
3. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to help your body recover from stress and inflammation.

I've been dealing with some really unpleasant smelly gas even after passing stools, and it's starting to get embarrassing. Are there any homeopathic remedies that could help with this?
