Helicobacter Pylori (h Pylori ) Bacteria And Scuba Diving

If you want cookies, try gingersnaps or another kind of ginger cookie. They're a bit spicy so might be hard on your stomach, however, ginger is very good for seasickness.

As the others have pointed out, it's definitely in your own best interest to get more sleep the night before. Pack yourself a couple of thermos too; one with your tea and one with broth or a noodle soup.

Coffee and Burger King must be eliminated! For me, even plain tea can be hard on my tummy so pick your beverage carefully.

i have heard of people using ginger for seasick but to be honest i never try it , i will try to find some cookies with ginger or tea with ginger as Kathy says thats would be great if i can find it in thailand
about coffee and burger kings its a NO NO from now
sleep definitely i need a lot of it especially before diving i will try to pack my gear 2 days before diving not last mins as i always do it the night before diving
can i know what you eat during the day of diving , i know i have to find out what works for me , but i think i need something that work for others to start with and when my stomach get better i will try more things

I have found this Orange Ginger Mint tea does a great job of calming an upset stomach. It is not the most delicious tea I have ever tasted - although I have gotten used to it and now I enjoy it - but it really does help me.

I agree on strong tea. Still better for me than coffee, but a light green tea is the best. I guess like Kathyv I have just gotten used to it over the years On the boat I just drink plenty of water.

I think you are doing the right thing on the boat with water and cookies and fruit but be careful that the food is prepared in a sanitary manner. I don't know anything about the boat and staff but I imagine that they do a fine job, but since you have had problems in the past may want to bring your own water bottle and snacks and wash or peel the fruit yourself.

thats totally true the same thing that my doctor says if it doesn't hurt others doesn't mean it won't hurt me he say that i should that myself as a more sensitive person , i bring my own water but the fruits its already peeled on the boat . the doctor says if the food is prepared by in infected person who didnt wash his/her hands and were in toilets previously the bacteria will be in the food and it will infect the person who eat it .
second things he stop me from eating ice cubes outside as he says in thailand most of ppl infected by the tap water , and most shops and companies in thailand make ice cubes with tap water so i should be aware of this also , he just warned me today

It sounds like your doctor is taking good care of you and you should follow his/her advice.

Below are recommendations from the US government's public health agency (the CDC) for Americans traveling to Thailand. Sometimes it is inconvenient to follow all of these precautions, but you have already had some bad luck so you need to try and stay healthy.

Eat and drink safely

Eat

• Food that is cooked and served hot
  
  
• Hard-cooked eggs
  
  
• Fruits and vegetables you have washed in clean water or peeled yourself

  Don't Eat
  

• Food served at room temperature
  
  
• Food from street vendors
  
  
• Raw or soft-cooked (runny) eggs

Hi,
I hope your doc did mention that if you have h.p than everybody in the family got it too and they need check/treatments or you will get reinfected, I had it, my family had it. Although they maybe asymptomatic and some tests maybe unreliable with false positive and without symptoms docs won't prescribe meds. so you need to be smart hot to obtain meds for the family.
