Question: gastritis. possibly treated for h plyori, and I was told no longer have it. however I can not consume alchohol without my stomach becoming inflamed, and bloated. I was raped by a physician assistant who had anal sex with me while I was sleeping. I believe he had diseases could this be causing my problems.
Brief Answer:
the two are not reated
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Firstly, your rape incident has nothing to do with your gastritis.
Second, I believe that though your H.pylori infection has been cured, your stomach ulcers have not yet healed completely. You need to continue your ppi group of drugs like pantapraole or omeprazole, that you were given for a couple of months to allow the ulcers to heal.
Till that time, you need to abstain from alcohol, tea, coffee and soda drinks, as these all will worsen your gastritis and impair in its healing.
Hope i have been helpful.

Dr. Deepika Patil

Thank you they did a endoscopy then the new doctor wanted to do a colonoscopy. I only took meds for 2 weeks they gave me penicillin for 10 days. Do you think I should get some more meds because it has been a year since treatment. I still can not enjoy alcohol
Brief Answer:
penicillin was given for what?
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
You need to start on a ppi tablet as last treatment you had taken was a year ago. So high possibility for a recurrence of gastritis.
And penicillin was given for what? Its usually not given for H . pylori eradication. For that special three drug combination kit comes that has to taken for two weeks.
So I would suggest that you either get yourself tested for H . pylori again by simple breath test after drinking a special medicine and if positive start on that kit or you can start on a ppi like pantoprazole or omeprozole for a month and see.
Also follow the diet modifications I had told you in the last reply.
