Unexpected Results

Remember I was saying I had a gut feeling that the thing bothering my stomach is not H. pylori?

Well my gut was wrong.
(so much for my career in fortune telling)

Went to the doc to see the test result and it's POSITIVE for Helicobacter pylori.
I did some research and if you wanna know what this infection is:

Apparently it contracts during childhood, no wonder I have been ill for so many years.

I'm really glad.
Finally the diagnosis is correct, I can seek medication now and hope to get well soon. =)

If antibiotics don't work (and they aren't always effective, you'll find), try what worked for me:

If you only try three things, go for Monolaurin (1200 mg twice daily), Manuka honey, and Mastic Gum.

Good luck,
