I wanted to share this YouTube video here as it has been really useful in helping me to finally come off Omeprazole permanently.
“How I cured my Acid Reflux and Helicobacter Pylori infection (without antibiotics)” by Rob Ager on Youtube. https://youtu.be/PbRKiH8Jf3M?si=7kVhJGUTLc8Ezmgo
I was diagnosed with hiatus hernia, duodenal ulcers and h. pylori infection a number of years ago and treated with antibiotics and PPIs. Symptoms returned not long after the treatment ended, but test for H Pylori came back negative, so I was encouraged to continue with the PPI, which I reached for to alleviate symptoms. I've been trying to reduce Omeprazole in recent months because of reports linked to nutrient malabsorption, dementia, osteoporosis etc. My symptoms have steadily worsened since then (persistent cough, increasing burning in whole digestive track, and frightening hernia (strangulation) pain in the middle of the night). I tried ACV & baking soda with ceyenne & tumeric in water which helped for a while.
I now believe as Rob Ager says, that the problems won't heal without dealing with the H. Pylori infection first, and that PPIs mask the underlying problem (maybe even providing a conducive environment for h. pylori) as I clearly still have all the symptoms of duodenal ulcers etc. when not taking them! I originally suspected problems with my gall bladder, but it turned out these symptoms are very similar to those created by duodenal ulcers.
I am now several days into taking 4 (250g) Mastika capsules every 8 hours on an empty stomach and (fingers crossed) all the symptoms mentioned have started to ease, so I am determined to continue

I also took marshmallow, cats claw, slippery elm and dgl licorice 3 after each meal for 2 weeks.
Also bought edible clay - 1/4 cup with aloe vera with spring water -take away from other medications other it will bind and be no benefit to you. Take plenty of probiotics too. Take urea test when finished with h pylori. Take plenty of water & cranberry juice to get rid of hp in one's bladder.
