Stomach bacterial infection - #12501
I am really stressing about this stomach bacteria infection thing. For the past few weeks, I’ve been feeling super bloated and having abdominal cramps like never before. I thought it was just something I ate, but then I started noticing these weird fluctuations in my appetite and some nausea. I went to my doctor and they mentioned a stomach bacterial infection may be the cause, which freaked me out a bit. I had some tests done, and the results showed quite a bit of inflammation in my stomach lining. They suggested I might need antibiotics, but I’m worried about that too. I mean, isn’t that like… messing up my gut even more? Ugh! I read a little about stomach bacterial infections online, and there’s just so much info and some of it is kinda scary. Like, how do you even know if you’ve got it for sure? Are there different kinds of treatments for a stomach bacterial infection, or is it just antibiotics? Also, I keep wondering if there’s anything else I should be doing, like dietary changes or supplements that could help? Anyone else dealt with a stomach bacterial infection and found something that worked really well? I could really use some tips, cuz I’m just not sure what to do next.
