I hardly ever talk to my doc anymore. It must be nice to have a doc who will talk and listen. I am thinking of switching GI docs for the third time. A friend of mine suggested one at The Women's Hospital, which I liked because he'd be more intune with a female body.
H.Pylori is a bacteria that you can get in your stomach. It eats away at the lining of your stomach causing ulcers. It is now believed to be the major cause of stomach ulcers. My first GI doc only did a colonoscopy and then decided I had IBS. I decided to switch to a new GI, because I didn't like the "You have IBS, nothing else could be wrong" attitude. The second GI did another colonoscopy and the EG where the H.Pylori was found. I had to take these horrible super antibiotics and couple other pills twice a day, but supposedly it's all gone.
I'm high strung so I think that stress for me is always there. Plus I have a lot of anxiety over my IBS. I swore when I was diagnosed I wouldn't let it take over my life, but from time to time I do. Right now I'm on another kick of not letting it get the best of me. I do the subconscious plays a factor in things.
I hope you start feeling better soon. *hugs back*
