I have a follow-up in January and will try to0 remember to follow up here too. I was seen by a gastroenterologist in the summer who said it was probably constipation and to take Metamucil. So now I'm thinking it's a parasite again. So that makes me wonder if it's transmittable. NO ONE in my life has ever had them other than me, that I've been in contact with. I'm just getting better now and to my horror, this morning my husband came downstairs an had the burps. Unfortunately, I got it again several days later and this time it was totally the burp/vomiting/diarrhea expisode. There were hints of burps, but it wasn't the same. But I did suddenly get sick last week, from what I thought was a bit different, maybe a regular stomach bug. Was this because the h/pylori was gone? No idea. Now, between April 2015 and November 2015 I had the longest time without any episodes, which was awesome. It seem sto follow no pattern at all, which is super annoying. And in early 2015, I was sick 2 or 3 times a month, missing a lot of work. I know that I had more episodes between 20 because when I was pregnant in 2012, I was sick almost every month. So I feel as though the h.pylori, while it can't be the CAUSE, definitely made it worse. I had no bouts between April and October 2015. Was treated with antbiotic regimen in March 2015 and then air test showed it was gone in July.

h.Pylori tests: was negative in 2011 and positive in 2014. TESTS I"VE HAD: -Parasite test and didn't have any (fecal test) -Barium test once at age 26, and it didn't turn up anything. I always think this, but it can't be the reason (too many variables). Also same with thinking it's a particular food allergy. They seem to be worse when I'm very stressed out or eat very rich foods or binge, but honestly sometimes they don't happeni nthat context, so it's hard to say that's why. my mother says it started when I was a baby.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents and whole experience here: - Currently 38 years old and have had these bouts my whole life. Thanks Klaaskoop - I had a look at your cure of vinegar. I found a really good article that I feel would benefit you to read. From the I digested food sitting in your stomach too long, it causes the havoc we are dealing with.

Gastroparesis is when your stomach muscles don't contract the way they should to move the food from your stomach to your intestines. After my symptoms started a week ago (the disgusting burps, the extreme stomach bloating from gas, stomach cramping and pain with or without eating, diarrhea, heartburn, etc.) which are obviously not as severe as his, I believe myself and many of the people on here are suffering from a milder case. When he has an episode he has the burps, stomach cramping and vomiting leading to severe dehydration and has to go to the hospital to get a tube down his throat to suck everything out of his stomach. My husband has a severe case of Gastroparesis from a stomach injury.
