FangZ, gotta love that screen name! LOL

Yes, my mother is telling me to insist upon getting tested by my gastro. There's a simple breathe test that can be done to identify it. I mentioned it to my gastro over a year ago and he sort of shrugged it off. Well, he's not getting off that easy this time. Even my youngest sister was just treated for H-P! She's only 11.

I had the gall bladder problems, too, and had mine removed. Supposedly it was caked with crystalized cholesterol. But I was diagnosed with a bleeding ulcer back in 1991. Back then, they didn't know H-Pylori was a bacteria that caused ulcers.

Another thing I learned from my mother is that most people who acquire H-P have gotten it from having endoscopic procedures. The gastro doctors can transmit it to their patients since they do the procedures and that tubing can have splash-back upon removal. Minute amounts of fluids can enter the doctors' eyes and what have you. Plus I don't know if they use the same tubing on patients with simple sterilization or if they use new ones on each individual. OMG! I must have had at least a dozen of those procedures!

Thanks for the input. It sure is great to be here with so much encouragement from others. And best of luck to you! I hope you're doing well.
