Description
Your intestinal tract is home to a population of bacteria (the “microbiome”) that play numerous roles in overall health. Invasive organisms – including the bacterium Helicobacter pylori – are often ingested orally through eating or close physical contact, leading to imbalances within the microbiome. More acutely, when infecting the stomach lining, organisms burrow in and multiply, leading to symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, heartburn, and bloating. Chronic infection can even lead to long-term health conditions like ulcers, anemia, and even life-threatening diseases.
The cascade of effects caused by even a low-level, asymptomatic invasion by harmful bacteria in the stomach, can lead – in most cases slowly, over years – to a decrease in natural digestive processes which are replaced by inflamed tissues, sores, and potentially much more serious growths.
