Buffheart,

I am so sorry to hear about your symptoms and the path of declining health that this has taken you down. I want to encourage you to keep looking for answers. H.pylori can be very painful in the stomach and is treated with pain medication and antibiotics. It then goes away. My son had this from drinking bad water. We had to insist that he get tested for this as the doctor seemed to think it was rare. He tested positive. He also had giarddia. As far as mental health concerns go, please see a doctor soon. The age of onset for several mental health conditions, including bipolar, is often college age/young adult. Early detection and treatment can really help get you back on your feet again. Stay positive and keep looking for help!
