I still remember the sound of my doctor’s voice when he looked through the endoscope as 20 yr old me laid on the table.
“Man, we find your problem”
Fortunately, the Canadian medical system knew about Dr Warren’s work and so I was properly treated with antibiotics and completely cleared up in 2 weeks, never had a recurrence.
I owe that guy a lot, I’ve heard many horror stories about ulcer treatments since then, it’s shocking this isn’t known by literally 100% of doctors (of all specialties)
I'm a fellow Canadian, and in my early 20s I realized that the normal hunger pain I was feeling... wasn't normal. Instead of pain, others experienced a different feeling that told them "I could eat right now".
After an endoscopy and a biopsy, they found that I had H. Pylori and stomach inflammation (no ulcers). After a vaccine + course of antibiotics, I stopped feeling pain whenever I was hungry and started feeling a normal appetite sensation.
I'm posting this comment in case anyone is in the same situation with hunger pain.
