Treating Helicobacter Pylori with Diet and Supplement

Helicobacter Pylori, or H. pylori for short, is a gram-negative bacteria that can populate the human oral cavity and stomach. In developing countries, H. pylori affects 70–80% of the population, whereas in developed countries affects approximately 13% to 50% of the population.

In most people, H. pylori infection is asymptomatic and takes the form of mild inflammation of the stomach lining. Ulcers of H. pylori infection with increased inflammation and increased acid secretion are observed in 15–20% of infected people. This may happen if left untreated and can lead to ulcers also in the esophagus lining, causing pain when swallowing, and ulcers in the duodenum causing pain after eating food. Symptoms may include stomach ache or a burning sensation, especially when you are hungry, nausea, bloating, weight loss, and frequent burping.
Some people may mistake their symptoms for acid reflux or heartburn and take antacids and acid blockers, leading to the actual condition going untreated.

Helicobacter Pylori can also lead to anemia. Gastric cancer from H. pylori infection is found in approximately 1% of infected people.

In my recent video: “Treating Helicobacter Pylori with Diet, and Supplements.” I talk about ten ways to prevent and manage the condition by dietary change and taking supplements.
