JUST WHAT IS H. PYLORI?
H. pylori is a type of bacterium that lives in your stomach. It has a corkscrew shape and, believe it or not, is one of the most widespread bacteria in the world.
Unlike all other bacteria, it is able to survive the harsh, acidic conditions of the stomach by cleverly neutralising the acid. It is believed that it is the only bacterium that can do this, so it’s quite a special bug!
A long term infection of H. pylori can lead to a plethora of direct and indirect symptoms that can by very puzzling to patients and doctors alike.
H. pylori buries into the lining of your stomach and causes it to become inflamed. This causes stress on you immune system and the release of a hormone called cortisol. Because cortisol talks to every cell in your body, too much cortisol can begin to affect any part of your body.
H. pylori is known to be the main cause of peptic ulcers (ulcers in the stomach and small intestine), gastritis and is also believed to be a cause of stonach cancer. Common symptoms include heartburn and acid reflux, constipation, diarrhea, mouth infections, sore throat, dizziness and vomiting.
Because H. pylori affects cortisol levels, it can also cause a range of symptoms that your doctor may never link it with - weight gain or weight loss, tiredness and low energy levels, depresssion & anxiety, PMS and more.
