Constant Acid Reflux May Be Helicobacter Pylori, A Digestive Infection

By Bram Stoker

Chronic angina suffers could be afflicted by more than indigestion, sour stomach or acid reflux. The chronic heartburn could be due to Helicobacter pylori, ( H. Pylori, for short ). In simple language, you could be going through a stomach infection.

Heartburn is a term we use to explain a selection of conditions that cause us discomfort in the upper part of our intestinal tract. As the conditions alter, so do the symptoms change from person to person. Every one of us have experienced heartburn from time to time, sometimes something we eat just does not agree with us, so we take a couple of antacids like Tums or Maalox and all is well. Tums, Maalox or any other OTC antacids can not make all well if the reason behind our heartburn is a stomach infection brought on by Helicobacter pylori.

Even if we begin experiencing heartburn more frequently, to the point of the heartburn becoming a protracted problem, we are still inclined to take OTC antacids rather than looking for medical recommendation. If the chronic angina is caused by Helicobacter pylori, OTC antacids will only partly relieve the miserable angina, and do nothing to cure the root problem, the Heliobacter pylori bacteria growing inside your abdominal tract, causing a stomach infection.

Helicobacter pylori is a micro-organism that settles into your belly lining and upper intestinal tract. As the H. Pylori bacteria slowly and continuously spreads, it creates inflammation, making the upper abdominal tract more subject to the standard acid that your body produces to help in digestion. Over time, this allows the acid to irritate the stomach lining which causes the persistent heartburn, and in some examples, also causes stomach ulcers.

Helicobacter pylori infection is usually caused by foods or drink that've been tarnished with the bacteria, it's also spread from person to person. H. Pylori is a common infection and the chances of contracting it increase with age.

That is the bad news about Helicobacter pylori and the probable cause of persistent heartburn. The good news is that Helicobacter pylori contagions can be dealt with effectively with the right antibiotic program. - 32390
