Helidac for Helicobacter Pylori Infection User Reviews

"So far I am on day 3 and there hasn't been any bad side effects, opposed to what I've read from others about this medicine. I read that someone said that after taking this medicine for about 10 days is when they started feeling more side effects or began feeling worse. So far I have only had a slight metallic taste in my mouth and black stool, but nothing really serious. I did get a little nausea and an upset stomach from taking the medicine in the morning without food, so I recommend always eating breakfast first before taking it in the morning. I hope I don't feel any more side effects for the remaining 11 days. I will post again in about a week to tell about how I feel. Good luck to whoever takes this medicine."

"Not sure if it's working, but one thing I can say is it makes my bowels move about 4-5 times a day, no matter what I eat, comes out. So if it's clearing the infection, it's also cleaning out my colon as well, I guess."
