Hello jerebet,

I heard several years ago about the possible connection between H pylori and had a blood test which proved positive. As a result I was put on a two week course of antibiotics. That was four years ago and my tremor dominant parkinsons has still progressed significantly despite me starting sinemet medication.

I have had H pylori on a number of occasions. My blood tests also proved positive and I was given a course of antibiotics. I was told that this infection caused thinning of the stomach lining. I have always maintained that these infections were linked with my diagnosis of Parkinsons which is tremor dominant and progressing. I posted a question on this Site and was surprised by the number of positive answers I received.

The potential link of H Pylori with PD is interesting. The response rate you got Court may be partly explained by the fact that more than 50% of the world's population harbor H. pylori in their upper gastrointestinal tract and over 80% of people infected with H. pylori show no symptoms.

I do have a history of stomach ulcers though the biopsy came back negative for H. Pylori. That was several years ago, though I do believe different infections and stressful situations can cause an earlier onset of the disease. I had pneumonia shortly before the onset of my symptoms.
