In 2010 I did an endoscopy and was tested for Helicobacter pylori but the test was negative. IIRC the exam showed that I had gastritis/inflammation. The doc took a picture of my stomach and also did a biopsy.
I have the report with the picture somewhere...

I'm not sure if that is considered "carefull testing" tho. I had many false negatives when stool testing for parasites and I would not be surprised if H. Pylori tests are just as unreliable.

IIRC H. Pylori was included in my MetaMetrix test. I haven't tried the blood or breath test.

I felt a bit better when I was using sub lingual B12 in 2009. The problem with those liquid b12 is that the ones that work for me have sugar. The Sugar free ones come with sweetener that makes my situation worse then if I was to take the ones with sugar. IIRC the b12 pills had a weak effect.

Things would be easier for me if I was able to pay for doctors and more tests. I'm self treating at this point and hoping I can get enough energy to work and be able to pay for tests and doctors... Its a type of chicken and egg situation...

The protozoa also gave me hypoglycemia and I'm hoping I can find a supplement that can help.

Thank you for the reply! :o)
