PVCs and H. Pylori

[Lacedabeat]

I have H. Pylori as of right now as well as a history of benign PVCs.  I have been eating the blandest of the bland foods.  Bananas, boiled chicken, plain brown rice, etc...  My loving boyfriend went online to try and find ulcer friendly foods, to make sure I didn't have an attack like the one that put me in the hospital thinking I was in cardiac arrest but instead found the culprit, the ulcer.  
Anyways, when I ate this VERY mildly seasoned chicken, it gave me PVCs for over an hour until the food digested.  I am concerned when it comes time to reintroduce the foods I used to eat, this will put me in a fit of PVCs after every meal :(  Is there a way I can avoid this?  Will this happen every time?  I get so scared when I feel them.  If anyone has any info it would GREATLY be appreciated :)

Thank you so much! itdood I am taking antibiotics and it is been a struggle.  Nauseous and shaky, no appetite.  I am halfway through and am praying everything gets better come a week from tomorrow!  PVCs suck!  I wish they would just go away!  Thanks for your feedback everyone!

Did they end up going away? I’m going through the same issue. I finished my antibiotics a month ago and I’m still feeling them.

Hi there! I found this thread very helpful. Could you please let me know if your PVCs end up going away after taking antibiotics? I would really appreciate your feedback. God bless!

PVCs are clinically considered normal.  I personally don't necessarily feel that a person having hundreds or thousands of them a day is normal but the main point is they are not a danger to you.  Disconcerting yes but your health and well being are not in jeopardy  So do what you can to first put your mind at ease about having them.  Stressing about them will actually make them worse.  Though there may not be any clinical studies about the correlation between stomach issues triggering pvcs I know mine get triggered that way all the time.  It isn't the only way they get triggered but whenever I eat foods high in carbohydrates and sugar I can be certain I will have pvcs for around an hour afterwards.  I don't know if it is so much the stomach or how the body reacts to those substances that trigger the pvcs but ff you really want to avoid them being caused by your diet then avoid carbohydrates and sugar.  For me I find that very hard as I am hard pressed to give up my bread pasta and chocolate so I just deal with the pvcs but if they bother you that much then just cut those foods out and it should help you feel better.  Take care.

Many PVC sufferers sweat that their PVCs are tied to stomach or other GI issues. From hiatel hernias, gas, burping, acid....  there's a lot of anecdotal reporting of the correlation.  I don't think the topic has ever been studied scientifically.    

I too went through a rough time with GI issues and a major flare of PVCs, lasting 10 months.  I went as far as to have an endoscopy and colonoscopy to try to find the root cause, no issues were found.  negative for h. pylori.

I really can't predict what's in your future.  Some people get better, some go through ups and downs.  I've never heard of anyone dying from it.  Are you treating the h pylori with antibiotics?
