Problem
Helicobacter pylori infection
Other Names:
Overgrowth of H.pylori Nature:
Bacterial overgrowth of H. pylori can suppress stomach acid which enables it to survive the very low pH environment in a healthy stomach. This creates a vicious cycle where bacterial overgrowth and low stomach acid reinforce each other in a continuous decline of digestive function.
