If you have tested positive for h pylori ...

Did your G.P also recommend that your partner/spouse or other household members get tested too?

I've seen a few mentions online where this is recommended but not sure whether to bother G.P or not (partner just tested positive and about to start treatment)

Hopeful bump x

I've not heard that before. I used to work in gastroenterology too. I'm happy to be corrected though.......guidelines do change. I always thought it was an imbalance in your own gut and the presence of a bacterium but not that it was contagious 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you fizzystream. It can be transmitted via saliva apparently and other things and I've read various things online that partners and potentially family members should also be tested but not sure whether protocol in UK was different.

I tested positive in January. No mention of testing dh or dc.

I would quite like to get re-tested as I'm not sure the ant-bios worked.

I manage symptoms by eating less.

I've had it, no one mentioned husband/child be tested. Then I was retested at the end when the medication was finished.

And I wasn't in the UK
