Coconut oil and oil of Oregano/ HPylor? Vitamin C
Posted: Sat Mar 15, 2014 6:04 pm
Many years ago I was diagnosed with H Pylori and took the 2 week Prev Pac. ( 2 weeks of 8 anti-biotics a day) The HPylori was gone but I had a messed up stomach for a year after. 3 years later I had symptoms again and a stool test came back positive with H Pylori again. I told my doctor I had read a study by a Dr. Harry Preuss from Georgetown on Coconut Oil and Oil of Oregano and anti-biotic resistant bacteria and H Pylori and told him I would rather take that for 2- 3 weeks instead. My doctor said ok, I'll humor you, but we will then test again and then you will need to go on the Prev Pac. So of course he was pleasantly surprised when it came back negative and I no longer had any reflux.
Now I have been reading that taking a lot of magnesium can cause low stomach acid in some individuals and that can create a perfect environment for H Pylori. I also found some information, I think, on this site about Vitamin C helping low stomach acid.
So since both C and Mag have really helped me wouldn't it be wise to take them both at the same so I never have this situation again? Or wouldn't it matter? Sorry, I know you all can't give medical advice but can you answer this in general? Thanks!
