Answer 2

In the early 1980's, Drs. Barry Marshall and Robin Warren of Australia discovered bacteria in the stomach lining of patients with chronic gastritis and peptic ulcers. The flagellated corkscrew-shaped bacterium, Helicobacter pylori, apparently survives in the forbidding acid environment of the stomach and duodenum by hiding in the mucus and neutralizing stomach acid in its local environment. Long thought precipitated by stress and stomach acidity, ulcers are increasingly believed related more to the presence of Helicobacter infection. Instead of prescribing milk to reduce stomach acidity, antibiotics are used in the successful treatment of peptic ulcers. Since H. pylori was targeted as the cause of stomach ulcers, the total elimination of H. pylori from the body with antibiotic therapy has now become the accepted therapy for ulcers in the stomach and small intestine. What researchers are now discovering is that patients who have killed off their H. pylori colonies are subsequently developing gastro-esophageal reflux and esophageal cancer. It seems that, while an overgrowth of H. pylon might contribute to stomach ulcers, normal populations of the bacteria provide a protective effect for the esophagus. Few people will ever connect the elimination of H. pylon with problems of the esophagus. The average person will take prescribed antibiotics to cure their ulcers. When they start having reflux problems or esophageal cancer, they'll never have a clue that the two are related. It is not clear why some people are infected and others are not. The exact method of transmission is currently unknown, but it is probably carried from person to person and is related to the general sanitation of the country.

Answer 3

I think you're referring to Helicobacter Pylori. It's a bacterium that can cause discomfort, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and at it's most advanced stages, gastric ulcers.

Obviously, depending on the stage that the ulcer(s) are in, you could have internal bleeding.

If you're concerned that you might have this, see your doctor, who may prescribe antacid medications and antibiotics, depending on how much you are affected.

Take a look at the following page for more information.

I think you may mean the bacterium helicobacter pylori, h.pylori fo short. It is implicated in the formation of stomach ulcers. It is caught usually duirng childhood especially if you have lived in some poverty, but does not always cause a stomach ulcer. So far as we yet know it is the only bacteria to live and thrive in the strong acid of the stomach.

Answer 10

If you mean h.pylori, it means you probably have an ulcer, and no, it is not contagious. Symptoms would be pain in your epigastric and abdominal area and possibly nausea/vomiting.
