H-pyolori and ongoing vomiting for 10 weeks

I'll start at ths start. so 12 weeks ago I felt kinda under the weather, sore stomach, nausea, and general feeling bad. withing 2 weeks i was in lots of pain and saw my internist, sh sent me for a stat CT scan, suspecting gall bladder or appendicitis, it wasn't, 3 days later I had been vomiting for 2 days solid so went back, nausea tabs, next day i was still vomiting and now couldn't keep anything down now even a sip of water so I went to the ER. I was admitted and stayed there for 8 days eventually they let me go but i was only able to have sips of chicken stock. They found I had a INTENSE H-Pylori bacterial infection and mt esophagus muscles were not working very well. since then I have had blood work and i was ANA positive so they suspected Lupus but that was borderline, I have had a esophageal pressure test and that was normal, now they are talking about me going for a empty stomach test. I'm better than I was, but i van only stick to white break, pasta, oatmeal and cheese?!?! only water and tea. sometimes i go for a day with no vomiting and then WHAM it's back usually late in the day and its like tons of acidic water with a bit of food. I am thinking maybe I have a ulcer, but they would have found that when they did the esophergram? They also found a shadow on my liver but that disappeared on the MRI. I am just so sick of throwing up and eating nothing tasty! They said the H-pylori should not be doing this and I should be better by now, but I'm not!

  I know u would think so, but my dad went to the hospital and had all those tests and for a yr went back and forth to the ER until he had a Dr that did see it was his GB,,...so U many have to push for answers...


And he was on antibiotics for months as it would not go away...

I had a endoscopy, a CT scan,a abdo ultrasound, and MRI, I would think they would have found a gall bladder problem? I had 2 different anti biotics for 2 weeks and caraphate and zegarid

  How many rounds of antibiotics did u have? It is possible it is ur Gall Bladder and it was missed, my dad went to the ER many times over a yr and they did not detect it , he also was DX'd with H.Pylori....

I wonder if it was just a missed GB issue with u as well.
