What Causes Egg Like Substance In Stool When On Medication For H-pylori?

Hi i was taking medication for Hpylori for 10 days until today morning, then in the afternoon i saw a mass of white circle which look like an egg in my stool, does it mean that the bacterium is totally eradicated from my body, of course i'm going to do check up after 4 weeks, but i'm just curious.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
A mass which you are describing in your stool is not likely related to the infection with H-pylori, nor the treatment for it, in my opinion.
It is more likely related to something that you ate.
It does not mean that the bacterium is totally eradicated from your body.
The medications which you took are responsible for eradication of the bacterium from your body and hopefully you are feeling better with less stomach symptoms after this therapy.
When you visit your doctor he/she will ask you more questions to determine if the medications you took were effective.
Wishing you best of health.
