I've been having some stomach pain and my doctor did an endoscopy. He mentioned something about an h pylari or h capitalliary infection. I'm on this Sompraz hp kit now, but since I started taking it, I've been having really loose stools and feel like I can't control it. Is this normal? What should I do?

Given the blood groups you mentioned:
- Mother (O+)
- Father (B+)
- Child (A+)
It is theoretically possible for the child to have the A+ blood group, as the ABO blood group system is controlled by multiple genes. However, it's essential to explore this further.
To discuss this topic, consider consulting:
- Geneticist: A specialist in genetics and heredity.
- Medical Geneticist: A medical doctor specializing in genetics and genomics.
Regarding DNA testing, you can ask for a:
- Parentage Test: Also known as a Paternity Test or DNA Paternity Test.
- DNA Profiling: A test that analyzes specific DNA markers to determine biological relationships.
Some common DNA tests used for parentage testing include:
- Short Tandem Repeat (STR) Testing: Analyzes specific DNA markers.
- Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Testing: Amplifies specific DNA sequences.
Before proceeding, consider the emotional implications of DNA testing and discuss them with your family and a genetic counselor if needed.

View allI'm having some issues with my stomach, especially in the morning. There's this pain that comes along with motions, and it kinda feels like it's burning in my stomach and heart. Not too long ago, my doctor said it was food poisoning or an infection and gave me some meds for three days, which helped at first. But now the pain and motions are back just like before. What could be going on?
The recurring stomach pain, motion, and heartburn despite completing the prescribed medication for food poisoninginfection suggest a possible underlying condition such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers, or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); consider consulting your doctor again for further evaluation, potential endoscopy or imaging tests, and adjusted treatment, as well as making lifestyle changes like avoiding trigger foods, eating smaller meals, and managing stress.
