I had acid reflux, bloating stomach pains (mostly at night) for a long time. I finally went to see a doc a year+ ago who suspected H.Pylori and ordered blood test, breath test, stool test. As suspected it was H.Pylori. He said it's very common and very difficult to get rid off. He gave me a 'new' antibiotic - cost $300. I was shocked. I took the 2 week treatment. A month later, I was back to square one (acid reflux/bloating etc...). I took the matter in my own hands.
- To raise your stomach acid have 6/8 drops of 5% Hydrochloric acid in 1/2 glass of water during your meals
- Borax
- Cayenne pepper with food
- Oregano essential oil
- Apple cider vinegar
My stomach has never been better. I really don't know which item did the heavy lifting or they all contributed equally. I took them in combination and they are cheap.
This was before I knew about MMS. It's a known fact that MMS kills H Pylori. Now for maintenance, I take MMS1 (SC activated with 5%HCL).
I never heard of PPI until I read your post and researched it on the internet. So basically PPI reduces the production of stomach acid. I am no doctor but to me it's a total non sense to try to reduce stomach acid artificially when one of the roles of stomach acid is to kill unwanted bacteria.
Pepto Bismol contains very harmful ingredients (heavy metals, and radio active elements) and will do nothing to solve your problem, so don't come near it.
Antibiotics will not solve your problem either.
My suggestion is to stop all your conventional stuff wait a couple of days and start on MMS1. I have never used MMS tablets, so would suggest MMS1 (SC activated with HCL). Also have 5/6 drops of HCL in 1/2 glass of water with meals; have a sip 2/3 minutes before your meal and the rest during and/or after your meal.
Also have Apple Cider Vinegar: get real ACV with the mother ie the vinegar must be cloudy when you shake the bottle.
In a 500ml or so bottle put 2 tblsp ACV, add a good pinch of baking soda (Not baking powder), let it foam for a few minutes, fill with non chlorinated water, drink throughout the day. The BS I use is Harm & Hammer
