asked

I am a 61-year-old man in generally good health living in the UK with severe GERD. I suspect I have H. pylori, but my doctor won't investigate it. I took a course of Septrin for prostatitis and noticed a dramatic decrease in GERD symptoms. However, the symptoms returned once I stopped the antibiotic. My doctor prescribed Omeprazole, which has little effect. I believe the problem has a bacterial origin, but my doctor refuses to acknowledge this. What should I do?
