Hey Soulrole,

Welcome to the forum.  Someone with better information or personal experience will chime in I am sure.  I will just say that anything that compromises your immune system and affects the liver, potentially could make one vulnerable to all kinds of issues with pathogens etc, including H Pylori.  I will also say though that this is the first time I believe I have seen anyone post on the subject.  Why do you ask (if I may enquirer)?  Is that your experience?  Do you have H Pylori stomach issues and ulcers? Whatever your concerns, I hope you get answers.  ;)

Wow.  i am curious why the delay?  Either the medication you need to take or the compromised absorption.   But, the good news is, you "will" get harvoni.  You have waited this long (however long that is) to get cured...a little delay wont hurt.  hang in there my fried.  I suppose they will treating with antibiotics? Then again, maybe you will get the go-ahead.  Keep us posted OK.  Best to you.

Thanks I've had hep c since 1990 I did a fibroscan this week I'm f2. I'll have to Finnish antibiotics for the h pylori before I start treatment. I'm hoping it works.

Hi Soulrole,

H. Pylori is an extremely common bacterial infection with one third of the worlds population thought to be infected although most don't show obvious symptoms. There is no direct connection to HCV that I'm aware of but the delay to your starting hep treatment is likely because your doctor wants to administer PPIs along with the antibiotics to make them more effective. This is a standard treatment these days but the reduced stomach acidity from the PPIs, while helpful to getting rid of the H. Pylori is not so good for absorbing Havoni, etc. Once you have completed the antibiotic course you will be fine to commence killing the HCV.  :D
