Can Helicobacter pylori turn negative?

Patient's question:

Helicobacter pylori antibody positive, experiencing nausea and hiccups after meals. Currently, the stool is yellow and quite foul-smelling. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Curing Helicobacter pylori antibodies is relatively easy. Helicobacter pylori spreads through oral-oral and fecal-oral routes. Currently, in clinical diagnosis, curing Helicobacter pylori is generally achieved through combined therapy. Clinically, antacid excretory agents, antibiotics, and bismuth preparations are often used in combination. PPIs (such as omeprazole and lansoprazole) are commonly used, along with a combination of two antibiotics such as clarithromycin, amoxicillin, or tetracycline, metronidazole, and furazolidone to form a triple therapy. The course of treatment is usually 7 days. Helicobacter pylori causes very significant harm to patients.
