H. pylori, vitamin B12 deficiency, fertility and pregnancy This article is taken from my e-book, How H. pylori Causes Fertility and Pregnancy Problems, which you can download here for free. Vitamin B12 is an important reproductive nutrient. It works in partnership with other nutrients such as folate (also known inaccurately as folic acid).

What is SIBO and how does it cause IBS?

What is SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) and is it making you feel unwell? The food you eat, the way you eat it, and infections like H pylori, parasites and Candida can all cause digestive symptoms such as irritable bowel syndrome. But there’s another common, yet frequently overlooked problem that isn’t very well known.
