H pylori?

Just thinking aloud here, but does anyone else think these symptoms are consistent with h pylori (or some other bacterial) infection?

Frequent nausea & stomach pain, made worse when eating simple carbs like sugar, potatoes, rice, I mainly stick to brown rice at the moment which is easiest on my symptoms, I cant tolerate fatty meals because the acidity burns my stomach. In the past I have taken probiotics on and off and think this might actually align with when I felt better/worse (i.e. when I took them I felt better). Bacteria feed on simple sugars right?

I got some L Plantarum today, a probiotic which pretty much kills any baddies in its path. Not exaggerating but I opened up the capsules (wanted it in my stomach not slow release) and literally 30 seconds after I downed them my stomach pain disappeared.

I have been tested 3 times for h pylori in the past, 2 stool tests and one CLO test by endoscopy, always negative. But I was on PPIs for all 3 as I cannot come off them due to the stomach pain being unbearable (genius GP didn't bother to test for h-pylori before prescribing me PPIs in the first place).

Am I crazy, surely some people get false negatives for h.pylori? I'm popping these probiotics about 20billion a day, 10x the suggested dose but hopefully in a week I'll know whether its done any good or not. Also taking ginger intermittently as its anti-nausea plus anti-bacterial. Will stop my DGL for now because I think it has sugar in it, get a little nauseous after having one which is a bad sign I feel.

Thanks for the reply, how long did it take for the nausea to go? I assume you were on the triple therapy for a week yes?

My stools have always been completely normal, the blackness is usually blood from an ulcer so Im pretty sure I have no ulcers, my stomach is so sensitive I think I would in agony.

According to this link PPI's give false negatives to stool tests but have no effect on positive results

This link also suggests the CLO test can give false negatives from PPIs, but said 50% of those tested had false negatives....surely that cant be true

TBH I have no idea whats going on with me, I do feel sick all the time and am taking lots of meds that make it bearable, and I'm well aware I'm just clutching at straws. Today I still feel lousy and nauseated although stomach pain at least has still completely gone. I'm going to tone down the probiotics to the recommended dose and take ginger the rest of the time, at least that helps reduce the nausea.

I've got some Mastic Gum as well which is an h.pylori treatment but dont really want to try it again, first time I did I felt it burning a bit
