Hello I have just been diagnosed as having Helicobacter pylori, i was tested following years of extremely bad flatulence which has recently turned to chronic flatulance (every 5 minutes with a sewer like smell) but i am unable to have any treatment as i am a fully breastfeeding mother to my 5 month old daughter, my doctor said i will be treated once she is down to two feeds a day. Can i pass this bacteria/infection on to my baby? and should my partner be tested for it too as i am concerned about what it can lead too. What could i use to treat the flatulence and infection in the mean time?
→Breastfeeding in the first 6 months after birth can decrease the degree of H. pylori colonization in the infant, postpone infection until older age, shorten the duration of symptoms, and be concomitant with milder gastritis. So you must continue breastfeeding.→In the majority of cases, flatulence is nothing to worry about; it is a normal human condition which can be treated with self-care techniques.→Avoid following food:Artichokes, Beans,Broccoli, Brussels,sprouts, Cabbage,Cashews, Cauliflower, Garlic, Leeks,Lentils, Oats,Onions, Radishes,Rutabagas, Scallions,Sweet potatoes, Turnips,Wheat, Yeast (in baked products, such as bread).→The following carboy Chat Doctor.
