The word from my doctor is in: I do have an infection! Even though the initial test he did in the office was negative, my results from the lab came back positive. So that’s what caused the gastritis in the first place. He’s put me on some antibiotics and I have to continue with the super antacids. Now all I need is a T-shirt like Eileen’s…

I knew it! Is it H. pylori, E. coli, or something else? Sorry, I guess being a microbiologist gets me excited about these things.

E.coli. And of course, as soon as he said it I was like, “ISN’T THAT THE FLESH EATING BACTERIA?” And he was like, “No. It’s poo.” Very embarrassing.
