I was a long time sufferer until I came across a doctor who correctly diagnosed me with antibiotic resistant chronic h.pylori infection that lead to inflammation of a stomach lining. The test was painless and consisted of capturing air you breathe out into a special bag. After treatment I am symptom free. The antibiotic regimen I went through was the worst I’ve ever experienced due to resistance.
