Hi Dear
I appreciate your concern towards the ineffective treatment for H pylori.

If you were my patient with the blood test of h pylori +3 , I would have begin your treatment as follows:

The triple therapy ( Two antibiotics of different groups and one PPI)

Clarithromycin with Metronidazole to be taken for two weeks only
Along with the above antibiotics Omeprazole once daily but for 6 weeks duration.
This regimen is found to be effective.
By the way Helicobater pylori is universal in nature, not confined only to the Indian city of Hyderabad.

Besides the medications, to enhance the healing process avoid taking hot and spicy food, alcohol and alcohol containing beverages, coffee, smoking, stress. etc.
I hope your doubts have been clarifed.
Take care of your health.
