H. Pylori Infects up to 45% of the U.S. Population

If you haveongoing digestive complaints and the symptoms do not go away

, a hidden internal bacterial infection may be the root cause. Helicobacter Pylori or H.Pylori for shortinfects up to 50% of the world's population. Research shows that in the U.S. alone, up to 45% of the general population may be infected. The bacteria works like a corkscrew in the small intestine. It inbeds itself into the lining of the small intestine and forms a bubbleto protect itself from the stomach acid. It also damages the parietal cells in your stomach wall which are responsible for producing stomach acid. When stomach acid becomes suppressed, it leads to many different complications. H. Pylori has also been shown to move to your gall bladder and liver.

What Are the Symptoms?

Heartburn

Acid reflux / GERD

Indigestion

Halitosis

Duodenal and Peptic ulcers. H.Pylori has been shown to be the main cause for these.

Upper abdominal pain

Headaches / migraines

Acne

Hormonal imbalance through adrenal fatigue

Depression

And More

H. Pylori has also been shown to lead to stomach cancer if not treated.

How do You get H. Pylori?

There are multiple ways a person may become infected with this nasty bacterial infection;

1. Close personal contact. Many people who have H. Pylori can easily pass it on to their family or loved ones through saliva, sharing utensils, and the like

2. Poor hygiene

3. Sexual contact

4. From your pet or animals. You can simply pet your dog cat or another animal then eat with your hands and acquire the bacterial infection.

How do you test for H. Pylori?

There are essentially 4 ways to test to see if you have H. Pylori;

1. Stool test. In my opinion this is the best one to take. You can do it in the comfort of your own home and mail if off to a lab. If H.Pylori is found in your stool it is 100% positive that you have it. I would be happy to work with you if you choose to take this route. I can have the kit shipped to your home. The worst part is you have to take samples of your own poo. I would rather do that then get a tube shoved down my throat.

2. Blood draw. Your doctor or clinic will draw your blood to see if you have antibodies to H. Pylori. The drawback with the blood test is that your antibodies can stay elevated for up to 5 years after having the infection.

3. Endoscopy and biopsy. This requires you to go to a clinic and have the process done by a physician. They will insert a tube with a camera downyour esophagus tolook for the bacterial infection and other complications.

4. Breath test. You would go to a clinic and blow into a bag and they examine the gases to see if they react to H. Pylori. This one seems to be the least accurate.

Treatment:

Getting rid of H. Pylori usually is by the way of anitbiotics or natural supplements. Both have pros and cons to them.If you haveH. Pyloriyoumust to get rid of it to reduce your risk of developing other serious health complications caused by H. Pylori.
