subject: Helicobacter Pylori-The Symptoms [print this page] Helicobacter pylori are small spiral shaped bacterium that lives in the small intestine and stomach of humans and some animals. The bacterium can cause various problems in the digestive systems and in the other organs of the body. The symptoms are known as Helicobacter Pylori symptoms. Sometimes it can be severe and sometimes mild depending on the people affected.
The symptoms caused by theHelicobacter pylori bacteria are mentioned below:
The first stage of helicobacter pylori infection is vomiting. If you experience such problems, you need to visit the doctor as soon as possible to prevent the infection from becoming more severe.
Severe heartburn is another symptom caused by a H Pylori infection. In many cases the reason is not the excess secretion of stomach acids. Rather the reason is the damaged irritated tissues of the stomach, which are caused by the bacteria. You can get temporary relief from the pain caused by the sores by taking acid supplements
Helicobacter pylori bacteria cause digestive infections like nausea. Women often get confused it with morning sickness.
The bacteria can cause pain and inflammation in the stomach, which later leads to gastritis. Gastritis produces gas due to improper digestion of food and it may cause oral health problems like bad breath
When the stomach is infected with helicobacter pylori the iron absorption and the vitamin B does not work properly and because of this infection the food items are not digested completely. As a result, the metabolic rate decreases and it leads to fatigue.
The affected person can also suffer from bloating. It happens because the helicobacter first decreases and then stops the production of acid in the stomach. Later the infected stomach secrets excess water and this can lead to diarrhea.
Other Helicobacter Pylori symptoms include constipation, depression and many types of mood disorder like anxiety.
If you are going through any of these symptoms stated above, go and visit a doctor immediately. TheHelicobacter bacteria can commonly be detected by the blood test, and the stool antigen or endoscopy test. You can also go for the urea breath test. The main problem with all these tests is that the H pylori infection shares its symptoms with the symptoms of other digestive infections.
If you are diagnosed with the Helicobacter Pylori symptoms switch to a healthy diet and stay away from food items or drinks that include gluten (protein molecules to be found in the grains like wheat, barley and rye), soy, cow's milk, coffee and vegetable oils.
