The blood test is real good. The good news is that the antibiotic treatment has a very high cure rate. The other good news is that yogurt or buttermilk can replace the lactobacillus which is killed off by the amoxicillin, resuling in the colorful effects that you will hopefully get through easily. The bad news, from my point of view at least, is that you actually have to ingest yogurt or buttermilk...

There are "Probiotics" capsules with the required fauna to fix the "ecological" disaster in the making. In Israel they have a neat breath test for H. Pylori. One breathes into a tube which is sealed, then one is given a powder which is mixed in plain orange juice and after a wait of half an hour one breathes into another tube. They measure the difference in the 13CO2 isotope in one's breath. Just take the yogurt a couple of hours after the anti-biotics otherwise the culture will be killed.
