Should I Be Concerned As I Am Having Bloating, Severe Pain In Upper Stomach Near Breastbone, Constipation And Pain In Intestines?

I believe I have an ulcer caused by h pylori---had one almost 30 years ago--I do take meds that irritate my stomach---don't drink alcohol. I am bloated, have severe pain in upper left stomach near breastbone--pain in intestines, nauseated---also constipated to the max and I use miralax daily due to microscopic colitis--I drink a "green" drink every day. want to try holistic method to cure ulcer before any antibiotics. PS I also take zantac every day

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

H pylori is a cause for gastritis, gastric or duodenal ulcer symptoms. It is a bacteria.

It may or may not be the cause for your symptoms since you have to use medications that may be contributing to your symptoms.

You may want to consider having investigations done to determine if you actually do have H pylori because , if it is present, since it is a bacteria, it would require antibiotics.

I hope this helps
