What causes h pylori bacteria? How to treat it, prevent it and never get it again??? any ideas??

Question

I have known so many ppl in the last few months that have this condition and now they diagnosed me with this. They have given me a round of triple antibiotics. IS there anything else I can do to be sure it doesnt come back. What causes this? I rarely eat meat, let alone unclean meats. ITs very rare that I would do that. If you know, help me out and I will spread the news. IT seems to be something that is getting diagnosed a lot nowadays.

Answer 1

My family and my cousins family used to go swimming in something called Daveys Run. This was just a pond in the middle of some weeds, we could not see the bottom, and the sides were mud. My cousin developed an ear inflammation and I picked up H. Pyloric. My son went swimming in the local river and he picked up H. Pyloric. So I have always thought it comes from dirty water, and rivers that of course have no chlorine. And I do know that my sons doctor told him not to share pop, or tea with my daughter in law as she could get the bacteria.

Answer 2

H. pylori infection is common in the United States. About 20 percent of people under 40 years old and half of those over 60 years have it. Most infected people, however, do not develop ulcers. Why H. pylori does not cause ulcers in every infected person is not known. Most likely, infection depends on characteristics of the infected person, the type of H. pylori, and other factors yet to be discovered.

Researchers are not certain how people contract H. pylori, but they think it may be through food or water.

Researchers have found H. pylori in the saliva of some infected people, so the bacteria may also spread through mouth-to-mouth contact such as kissing.

What is Helicobacter pylori?

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a bacterium that causes chronic inflammation of the inner lining of the stomach (gastritis) in humans. This bacterium also is the most common cause of ulcers worldwide. H. pylori infection is most likely acquired by ingesting contaminated food and water and through person to person contact. In the United States, 30% of the adult population is infected. (50% of infected persons are infected by the age of 60.) The infection is more common in crowded living conditions with poor sanitation. In countries with poor sanitation, 90% of the adult population can be infected. Infected individuals usually carry the infection indefinitely unless they are treated with medications to eradicate the bacterium. One out of every six patients with H. pylori infection will develop ulcers of the duodenum or stomach. H. pylori also is associated with stomach cancer and a rare type of lymphocytic tumor of the stomach called MALT lymphoma.

Start flooding your gut with the good intestinal flora that the anti-biotics have removed. 80 % of your bodies Immune system is in your gut. Start on a GOOD pro-biotic,drink half your body weight in water daily.

This is something I hadn't heard about but glad to learn what it is and what to do if we would get it.

One thing I do regularly is take garlic capsules which is a natural immune system booster. Another thing I do, especially when cold and flu season is common or anytime my husband or I have anything contagious, is to simmer a pot of vinegar water on the stove for 2 or 3 days in a row, then I do it once a week after that during the winter ~ plus it adds moisture to the air when things are so dry in the winter time. I turn the furnace fan on so it will get into the duct work and kill germs in there where many things breed.

You can also put a large crockpot of vinegar water in your bedroom and tip the lid just a little to one side to make sure you get the vinegar in the air and kill germs in there. Be sure and check the pan and crock pot periodically and add water as needed. I don't put the heat high on the stove and I have a very large TEFLON (don't use anything but) pan so I don't have to add water but maybe twice during the day.

I also santitize counter tops, door knobs, stove, sink, phone ~ anything we touch to kill germs that might be lingering on surfaces. We both use Listerine twice a day and more if we have a sore throat. I have an allergy to vinegar so I can't gargle with it or eat it often or I get infections and get very sick but you might be able to gargle vinegar water to kill germs.

My husband works in a hospital so I worry sometimes about him bringing something home from one of the patients like he did before we got married and he contracted pink eye from a baby he x-rayed one night. We also keep the heat low in the house so we don't breed any more germs than necessary. I learned about that when I was having surgery and asked the staff in OR why they kept that room so cold as I laid there shaking like mad and the nurse told me about keeping germs from breeding as much.

We had a water purification system put in our home earlier this year so our water would be purified and better for us to drink. You can get the reverse osmosis machines at Lowe's and have one installed if you just want good drinking water only (we did both)

Just some health tips from a TX Buckeye :) They may or may not help but thankfully your doctor has you on antibiotics to help get things under control. Hopefully some or all of these tips will help keep you healthier so you won't have to fight this again.

BTW, per a doctor, the vinegar brew is good for killing staph infection, too.

Answer 6

Evolution "caused" H Pylori, it is a bacterium. Treatment is not always necessary, but when it is then antibiotics are used. No way to guarantee not getting it again because it is endemic through out the world. It exists in the food supply of every country on the planet, most often in raw vegetables and fruits.

Answer 7

I have taken my last antibiotics this afternoon" I was on the Triple Therapy" I think I have taken them for five weeks now. I pray to God it is gone. I was very sick with my stomach hurting me. My suggestion is to watch what you eat" Nothing spicy. & most of all eat healthy & eat small Portions.That is what I am going to do. & I suggest you guys do it also. & Pray to God about it.
