cause the last time i was in the hospital and had the scope done there was food from 2 days ago still in there, i also have H.Pylori. The 2nd doctor who is a sergeon put me on clarithromycin and amoxicilin and says if this does not help to coat my stomach and for it to stop bleeding then i dont need surgery yet. I have been in the hospital 3 times for the same reasons nothing has worked so far. Also my mother passed of stomach cancer. What do i do?
