Please pass on www.austinscdfriends.com  to these people.  It's a GF website dedicated to
helping people to destroy the bad bacteria, replace it with good . . . All with natural
foods and with the goal of getting off meds.
Fabulous information here!!!

I must have missed the first posting on this topic.  I have something to add.

 

I have been treating H. pylori since about Sept 06 with mastic gum.  This, supposedly, works better than the antibiotics and other drugs that are often used.  I take 2 capsules TID.  I buy the Jarrow Formulas brand from www.vitacost.com because it is available through this company and it is the cheapest source as far as I know.  Although this, in the long run, may be more expensive than a drug, I cannot afford the side affects to any of the drugs used.  Besides the mastic gum is very soothing to my intestines, a much needed side-benefit.

 

I probably picked up the H. pylori along with the myriad of other micro-organisms during the 4 years that I had no stomach acid
