Bloating and gastritic
Hello doctor, I have been suffering from bloating and gas for many years. I have taken many medicines but it is not getting cured. Yesterday I got an endoscopy done and this is the report and H. PYLARI bacteria has been found. So the doctor has given me a 14 day kit. Does the stomach feel bloated for a few days after the endoscopy?

Some bloating after endoscopy is common due to the air used during the procedure and usually settles in 2 days.
Since your report shows H. pylori, the 14 day treatment is very important complete it properly as it will help with long term symptoms.
If bloating persists or symptoms don’t improve, we may need to review your treatment and diet in detail.
Please book a consultation so I can guide you step by step.

Mild bloating or fullness after endoscopy is common because air is introduced into the stomach during the procedure. This usually settles within a few hours to 24 hours.
Since H. pylori with erosive pangastritis was noted, mild discomfort may be slightly more noticeable.
You can take light meals, sip warm water, and walk around.
Next Steps
Please seek medical attention if you develop severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, fever, abdominal distension, or bleeding.

Endoscopy Bloating: The 'fullness' you feel today is just residual air. Walking around and taking light meals will help the gas pass naturally.
The 14-Day Kit: This is a powerful combination of two antibiotics and one acid-blocker (PPI). It is crucial to complete the full 14 days even if you start feeling 100% better by Day 5. Stopping early can lead to antibiotic resistance.
Side Effects: Don't worry if you experience a slightly bitter taste in your mouth or mild changes in bowel habits during the course; these are normal reactions to the H. pylori medication.
Next Steps
Timely Doses: Take your medications exactly as prescribed, usually before meals for the acid-blocker and after meals for the antibiotics.
Probiotics: I recommend adding a good probiotic supplement during this 14-day course to maintain your gut health and reduce the side effects of antibiotics.
Follow-up: Once the 14-day course is finished, wait for 4 weeks and then get a Urea Breath Test (UBT) to confirm that the bacteria have been completely eradicated.
For a specific schedule of your 14-day kit, tips to manage antibiotic side effects, and direct follow-up, you can consult me directly through my profile.
