H Pylori

H. Pylori is a common type of bacteria that grows in the digestive tract and has a tendency to attack the stomach lining H. Pylori infections are usually harmless, but they are responsible for the majority of ulcers in the stomach and small intestine.

While infection with the strain of bacteria typically causes symptoms they can lead to diseases in some people, including peptic ulcers and an inflammatory condition inside your stomach known as gastritis.

Causes:

Infections are thought to spread from one person’s mouth to another.
They may also be transferred from face to mouth, through contaminated hands.
Spread through contaminated food or water
Bacteria can penetrate the stomach’s mucous lining and generate substances that neutralize stomach acids.
Stomach acid and H.pylori together irritate the stomach lining and may cause ulcers in your stomach and duodenum.

Symptoms:

Most people with H. pylori doesn’t have any symptoms when infection leads to ulcer symptoms include:

Abdominal pain especially before meals
Excessive burping
Bloated feeling
Nausea
Heartburn
Fever
Anorexia
Unexplained weight loss
Anaemia

Higher risk is more likely to develop in children mostly due to lack of proper hygiene.

Complications:

Pylori can lead to peptic ulcers but infection of the ulcer itself can lead to more serious complications.

Internal bleeding associated with iron deficiency Anaemia
Obstruction : Which can happen like a tumour blocks the food
Perforation : When an ulcer breaks through the stomach wall
Peritonitis

Lifestyle and Diet :

As such, there is no evidence that food and nutrition play a role in preventing or causing peptic ulcers.

However spicy foods, alcohol and smoking may worsen a peptic ulcer and prevent it from healing.

Homoeopathic Approach:

Homoeopathic medicines are found to be very useful in treating the cases of H. Pylori infections.

They act by improving digestion and reduce fatigue in patients. when the treatment is started in the early stage, small ulcers and erosions can be healed with the help of homoeopathic medicines like phosphorous, calc carb and nitric acid as per the individual’s case.
