For Helicobacter Pylori Infection "Currently on my 6th day of the treatment and it's the worst! Bloating, nausea, and diarrhea... can't wait until this nightmare ends. I have not been able to work for 5 days already due to this medication. Once you start the treatment, you can't stop it. For the diarrhea, I was told I cannot take any Imodium, which is worse. Good luck, people. Hope we all can survive this nightmare and move on..."

For Helicobacter Pylori Infection "I'm on day 5 of Pylera. I had dark, loose stools for the first 2 days and a nasty headache the 3rd. All that is gone now. I'm just extremely tired! Been napping 2 hours a day, and I couldn't stay awake to take my last dose, so I had to wake up and take it. I've been taking a strong probiotic with it and drinking 4-5 cups of tea a day (green, black, peppermint, ginger). Staying away from gluten too. Good luck, everyone! I've had this infection since 2008. Was on other meds then, but I guess I've had it and it never went away. I was deathly sick for a month, dropped under 100 lbs, and had 6 emergency visits all because of this nasty infection. Praying this finally makes it go away!"

For Helicobacter Pylori Infection "Same nightmare... thank God I had a sick day today due to some other reason. Decided to take the first dose of Pylera in the a.m. and just in 30 min fun started. For the last 7-8 hours, I went to the bathroom like 10 times, can't even drink anything at this point. I can't get off from work till August, therefore, I'll stop for now and do the entire course during vacation, otherwise, I will not survive. Hope I don't get dehydration because of this crazy diarrhea. Good luck to everyone! Hopefully, it's worth it."

For Helicobacter Pylori Infection "I have been taking Pylera for 3 days. Today, I am not taking it anymore. The side effects are horrible. I know the medicine is supposed to get rid of the H. pylori, but if I already feel bad throughout the day, why would I want to take something that makes me feel worse? Vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, black stools!"

For Helicobacter Pylori Infection "I am on day 4. Days 1-3 were okay. Day 4, I have very soft stools and I'm going more than usual. My time is off, and I missed my last dose for 2 days. I was only given Pylera, not another med, as I see in the comments. The comments are helpful, I'm so glad to see them. I thought I was going crazy. Very hard to take 12 pills a day. Headaches starting, and my stomach is sore at the top. Feeling tired on day 4. Canceled plans for day 7. I needed to change my diet anyway, so this will help. I'm making a pot of chicken vegetable soup to eat before taking the dose. Hope it helps. I was going to quit, but after reading comments, I will keep it up for 10 days. Keep the comments coming."
