sorry to hear about this. please reassure your wife there's no evidence h. pylori (or helicobacter pylori ) can be spread through kissing. h. pylori is the bacterium that causes stomach ulcers. however many people with h. pylori live with it for years and never develop symptoms. symptoms of h. pylori infection can include: burning sensation in the stomach bloating burping nausea these symptoms usually get better if you take an antacid product. you don't say how you came to be diagnosed with h. pylori or if your doctor gave you medication to treat it. if so please take the medication exactly as instructed. if you were given an antibiotic to treat your h. pylori infection be sure to take all of it. do not stop taking the medication if you begin to feel better. and again let your wife know this nurse says it's perfectly ok for you to kiss her! she won't get h. pylori from you by smooching. hope this helps!
i was diagnosed and treated for h. pylori. my wife is afraid to kiss. the dr. -no follow test required. whats your advice?
