Can GERD cause nausea and a wet mouth after H. pylori?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have GERD and was recently diagnosed with equivocal H. pylori after symptoms of wet mouth (not to the point of drooling), mild intermittent nausea (no gag or vomit), and minor upper abdomen discomfort. I completed the triple treatment (two antibiotics, Omeprazole) three weeks ago. The upper abdomen discomfort is gone. I still have mild intermittent nausea and loose stools, and a pretty consistent wet mouth (though still no drooling or spitting). Can this be GERD-related, or something entirely different, such as C. diff, SIBO, etc? I have a follow-up with my primary next week, but I cannot get in to see a GI for another month. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Nothing to worry. The loose stools may be secondary to antibiotics which you had. You can have some probiotics if it is persistent. Hope you have modified your diet and daily activities to reduce GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Judicious use of Omeprazole or Rantac (Ranitidine) can help you in case of recurrent GERD. Consult a specialist doctor, discuss with them, and take medications with their consent.

Hope your queries have been cleared.
