Help

just wanted to mention a supplement called Gum mastica that has received some accolades for being very effective in eradicating H pylori

some of the blurb on it
Quote:
Mastica, the resinous gum of a species of Greek pistachio tree, Pistacia lentiscus, has been used in Greece for hundreds of years as a remedy for a broad range of gastro-intestinal disorders. It has been found to be an effective alternative to pharmaceuticals in the treatment of gastritis, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and many types of intestinal inflammation. It is a safe and effective alternative to antibiotics in the treatment of stomach and duodenal ulcers and the clearance of the bacteria so frequently the cause of these conditions, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori).
Unlike antibiotics, Mastica does not eradicate the populations of friendly bacteria in the intestines, so crucial to health and well-being.

Also DGL liquorice extract (MUST be the DGL form) is very helpful in healing the ulceration site itself.

I dont know if there are any contra-indications for these two supps with medications
