What are the symptoms of H pylori infection?

Hello Sumit Ji,

If you have an H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori) infection, early treatment is crucial. Consult a gastroenterologist, who may suggest tests like a breath test, stool test, or endoscopy to confirm and assess the infection.

Treatment and Tips:

• H. pylori is treated with a combination of antibiotics and acid-reducing drugs. Complete the full course of medication for effective results.
• Avoid spicy, oily, and acidic foods to prevent stomach irritation.
• Include probiotics (e.g., yogurt) to improve gut health.
• Avoid smoking and alcohol.
• Eat small, frequent meals to minimize acid production.

Post-treatment, your doctor may recommend retesting to ensure the infection is cleared.
