LOl yes it is very gross. Has kept me from eating out so much thats for sure. And yes those symtoms are gone thank god. I ended up getting a yeast infection on top of it from all the antibotics I had to take to get rid of the H pylori. I no longer have symtoms from that. But have many other problems going on that I will post about later it will take a while. Im very happy I found this site thats for sure.
