Question : I find myself burping lots and making strange sounds, I am told its due to acidic in the stomach, and advised not to each spicy food, I love spicy food, and will never stop eating it. it feels like air is trapped in my stomach, and so I want to burp and it doesnt come up quickly enough. A stool test and a Helicobacter Pylori Service was used to carry out a Diabact Test, and it proofed Positive. It was recomended that I should take lots antibiotics, what do you recomend?

Brief Answer: Suggested to run further tests first... Detailed Answer: Hi, I have gone through your medical history and understood your concerns. As you have been diagnosed positive for H.pylori and have stomach hyper-acidity, the golden standard treatment scheme includes antibiotics + PPIs and antacids. I recommend to do upper endoscopy and abdominal ultrasound before starting the treatment. Hope it was of help! Let me know if you have further queries! Dr.Klerida
