More than 50% of the world's population suffers from abdominal pain, heartburn, diarrhea, and so forth, all of which result from small, harmful bacteria called Helicobacter pylori. This bacteria sits in the lining of the stomach and duodenum and impairs the stomach's resistance to its acidic environment, creating various problems and severe pain that may even prevent you from a good night's sleep, and eventually lead to ulcers and stomach cancer.
It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the symptoms of the infection and the natural ways of treating them, in addition to the treatment given to you by the doctor, which will help reduce the pain and problems that result from them.
It is difficult to be quickly diagnosed is H. pylori, because its symptoms are very general and sometimes go away after a short period of time and come back after a long period of time. If you feel that you suffer from most of these symptoms, you should go to the doctor to be tested for the bacteria.
Whether these symptoms appear regularly or at varying times, they may be a sign of Helicobacter pylori infection.
Because Helicobacter pylori interfere with the proper functioning of the stomach juices, the food is not digested properly and therefore you may suffer from these symptoms.
Many people who suffer from Helicobacter pylori also experience nausea and vomiting, and although these symptoms don’t always appear, they can indicate that this bacteria is present in the stomach when they appear alongside other symptoms.
Helicobacter pylori create a lot of stress on the body, so you may feel exhausted at all hours of the day. In addition, the body does not digest food properly and therefore does not receive the necessary nutrients from the digestive processes, which increases the feeling of fatigue and exhaustion.
Because Helicobacter pylori affect the acidity level in the stomach, and consequently the digestion processes, the body fails to process fats and proteins properly. As a result, people with the bacteria experience weight loss caused by loss of muscle mass - this is one of the most dangerous ways to lose weight.
Surprisingly, and contrasting to the previous symptom, Helicobacter pylori can also make it difficult for you to lose weight. The reason for this is the secretion of the hormone cortisol - the stress hormone, because of the presence of the Helicobacter bacteria. This hormone causes some people to lose weight and others to gain weight, and if you recently gained excess weight in the abdominal area and simultaneously experienced loss of muscle mass, it may be a sign of infection.
As mentioned above, the body secretes cortisol due to the stress it is in, which can cause repeated changes in mood. In addition, the hormone serotonin, which also affects mood, is properly secreted in a body with an unaffected stomach, and any damage done to it may cause a deficiency, leading to depression and anxiety.
Although Helicobacter pylori live in the gastric and duodenal regions, in some patients it is also present in the oral cavity and even within the holes that exist in the teeth.
Most people are unaware of the fact that sinuses are related to the digestive tract, and any disorder that occurs in it can cause problems in them.
To get rid of the bacterium, you should be treated with antibiotics from your family doctor. If you suspect that you are suffering from it, ask your doctor to check you. They will most probably ask you to take a breath test to detect the presence of the bacteria in the stomach. Once the bacterium has been found, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics and antacids. Do not pass on the antibiotic treatment, however, you can supplement the treatment naturally. Here are 9 natural tips and ways to prevent the symptoms of the Helicobacter pylori infection.

To consume probiotics, you can eat fermented foods such as kefir, kombucha tea, or yogurt. In addition, it is recommended to consume pre-biotic foods, such as onion, banana, garlic and artichoke.
