A Useful Self-Examination
You can also have a fair idea if you have the H. pylori bacteria in your body system if you exhibit any of the following symptoms; discomfort in your upper and mid-stomach, esophageal reflux, burping, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, flatulence and bloating. It is not uncommon for people to ignore these symptoms and instead think they are caused by probably normal changes in their body system.

When there is an inflammation of the lining of your stomach walls, then you may have gastritis. This stomach condition is known to be responsible for more than 80% of the conditions of gastric ulcer and about 90% of duodenal ulcer suffered by a majority of people. The major cause of gastritis is the presence of the H. pylori bacteria in the stomach.

As mentioned earlier, this bacteria can be transmitted by the consumption of contaminated foods and water. The type of contamination we are talking about is human fecal matter from an infected individual. It could also be transmitted when you are exposed to the saliva or vomit of a person infected with the bacteria. When the bacteria gets into the body, it survives and spreads in the stomach lining where it wreaks havoc.
Treatment For H. Pylori Infection
The good news is that this bacteria can be treated successfully in over 80% of infections. However, time is of the essence, when it comes to treatment. So pay your doctor a visit immediately if you notice any of the symptoms. You would most likely be prescribed a cocktail of antibiotics meant to curb the excessive stomach acid production in your gut and treatment can take a few weeks to complete. In order to keep your stomach lining healthy, you will need to eat a balanced diet comprising of foods rich in zinc, vitamins A, C, and E, as well as probiotics like bifidobacterium and lactobacillus. You should also observe good personal hygiene, by washing your hands with soap and thoroughly drying them with a clean dry towel after using the toilet.
