Getting to know H. pylori

SINCE its "discovery" in 1982 by Prof Barry Marshall and Dr Robin Warren, H. pylori has been extensively researched. via The Star Online

I was diagnosed with the H.pylori years ago and know I received it from food poisoning. Was told to live with it at the time.
The only symptons I have is irritable bowel syndrome. My questions are: what other symptons can occur and very importantly, what health stores sell Matula tea and Mastic Gum or can you get these remedies online only?And can you mix both together, drink tea and use mastic gum together. Anyone can verify any of it or guide me what stores I can go to to obtain these products.

Hi Ina,
I have been using mastic gum for about 4 weeks now, I'm going to be purchasing my second bottle soon. I have been feeling a lot better compared to what I was before! You can get mastic gum in most health stores such as VitaminShoppe, however, the only place I saw matula tea was online and its rather expensive. You should be able to take them together since they are both natural remedies, its what I might do as well but always check with a healthcare provider first. Hope this info helps!

Elisa, thanks so much for your info.
I have little symptons compared to what I can read from other posters.heir symptons getting better or worse again but, once symptons are gone, is this a sure sign that the H pylori is gone too.
Mine was found not thru a blood test but a stomach test, you know where they put a tube down your esophagus. Since I know how resilient this bacteria is, I am kinda hesitant to believe that the H pylori is gone for good if it doesn't show up anymore in a blood test. They say you even can get it and also give it thru kissing,is there any hope to get a permanent solution with this terrible bacteria and has anyone an experience where they contracted the H pylori thru kissing?
It is scary to know you may can give it to a loved one this way and also can be reinfected again from your partner whom you infected before you had the medicine. That's maybe why people don't get better. It's a cold shot but worthwhile considering if the 'kissing infecting' is true at all. How I hate this H.pylori...

My dad, ninety two years of age, drank matula tea and his symptoms started disappearing. Prior to drinking the tea, he didn't want to do anything, plus, had lots of gas, bloating, upset stomach.
He just wanted to stay home. About two weeks on the tea changed everything for the better.
He didn't stay in bed any longer, got up and out of the house, felt so much better. It worked for him!! He also ordered a second round of treatment, doing fine. All of this took place over a year ago. He is very active, stays busy, enjoying life.

Hi Jeanette, I have been reading so much about Matula tea, I wonder if you could let me know if it is available in this country or if it is only available in the U.S. It is nice to hear that your dad is benefitting from this. Many thanks. Pauline

I am at my wits end and am hoping that Matula tea will be the help I need. I am suffering from acid reflux, and recently was treated for H-Pylori. I have had 4 different medicines since x-mas-(right now I am on prevacid) with none of them helping the problem. This tea is a last shot for me, however since it is so expensive I want to make sure that it works before I spend the money. Can anyone help?? I just want my normal life back
Thanks for the help
