The Cause of Stomach Problems (& Cancer) No One is Talking About

I go over studies on a very common culprit causing a LOT of stomach problems--and increasing stomach cancer risk even if you have no symptoms--that doesn't get talked about enough given how many people have it.  Press "show more" to see the study link(s)!

Note: This issue generally doesn't go away on it's own. For many people it is lifelong (if they don't get it treated).

Also: Had you heard of this before? Would love to know how much awareness there is out there.

I’ve had H Pylori at 10. Got treated by a good hospital, the best children’s hospital in London, Great Ormond street. I had a gastroscopy and they found it and healed it thankfully. The specialist told me to stay away from extreme spicy foods. Lost 4 pints of blood, had 2 blood transfusions and had to supplement with vitamin D3 and iron after my operations. It was a huge relief recovering from it. I nearly died. Now i try my best to eat clean all the time.

I was diagnosed with H Pylori about 13 years ago after suffering with constant bad heartburn which didn't get better with any other medication. A simple stool test gave a positive result. My GP gave me a two week course of antibiotics and hey presto it disappeared! I was tested again a month later and it's been negative since. I cannot tell you the relief I felt from all the symptoms I had suffered for a number of years.

Very interesting about the animals and dog-human transmission potential.
Everytime I come home from being out, I wash my hands. And I take off my shoes before entering the house, and I make everyone else do so, too. I don't care if they think I'm crazy. I'm actually not a germaphobe! But just doing these 2 things can make a huge difference in one's health.

I have seen some documentaries about H Pylori as I have had some severe stomach issues of my own that was more painful than appendicitis (I have had that as well). My doctor claimed it was IBS and prescribed me something to help with cramps along with instructing me to follow a "Low FODMAP Diet" as researched by the University of Monash in Australia.

I took a completely different approach and began researching how to support a healthy microbiome in the gut. I started a regiment of daily probiotics and fiber, along with eating more locally grown greens and fresh produce from gardens (our church has a community garden). Combined with regular exercise to help reduce stress, this combination of things has been a life changer. I have not had an upset stomach in years whereas I used to have issues with my digestion on a weekly basis. Ginger seems to help as well whenever I get a slight touch of nausea.

Enjoy your videos, so I thought I would share my story.

I'm 71 and live in New Zealand. I'd heard that H. pylori could be the cause of my pustular rosacea. Last year I asked me doctor if I could be tested. She was very reluctant and said that it's very rare and doubted that I could have it. She rang me a few days later and said "Guess what? Your results came back positive".

I had been hospitalised once in the past for gastritis and often got very sharp pains in my stomach when I went too long without food. My rosacea went away very quickly after I’d finished the treatment but I don’t know whether the antibiotics did that or the removal of the virus.

I am now occasionally getting sharp pains in my stomach and gut but the rosacea isn’t back. My husband is always complaining of acid reflux and stomach pain so I’m wondering whether he has it. Another symptom he has, that I didn’t, is he gets full very quickly when eating whereas I’m a bottomless pit!!!

I've had this for a very long time. Treated twice and still have it. Have lots of bloating and gas and almost always never hungry.

Hi Miche. Thanks for this really great info. I’m American but do have some Portuguese ancestry per a DNA test. Do you think having this ancestry could possibly make me more susceptible? Wondering. 🤔 Thank you.

I diagnose and treat TONS of h. Pylori in my clinic, and none of my patients have even heard of it . I have a personal vendetta against getting patients off long term Prilosec use.

[johnshinski]

Hi Miche. Do you have a recommendation as to what test is best? Breath or stool? Thanks

[keweldogpdx]

I have had burning in my stomach for years so I’m going to go get tested. Thank you!

[RealJonzuk]

30 seconds in im guessing (retracted) watch the video my guess was right

[gurrrrlish]

i'd hope that the MD would test for h pylori -- before handing out an IBS diagnosis... but there are incompetents in every field... so good video for sure....

[shabanakarim]

Hi . I was wondering, have you done any research on sulfurphane and gastritis . I wonder if one can lessen the effects of gastritis, or h pylori, by consuming certain foods like garlic, cabbage, mustard, ..

[RealJonzuk]

yes i knew it i should get tested for it for real

[Guishan_Lingyou]

I had heard of H. Pylori before, but I had no idea it was so common. I would have guest 1/100 at most.

i have had ulcers starting when i was 21 (i am 24 now). i have bulimia, so i always assumed i just damaged my stomach mucosa. I think that is true, but now I really am going to go do the stool tests they have been wanting from me at my PCP. H pylori antigen is one of the tests and so I really want this information. Thank you for reminding me about this I have been putting it off!!!

[jeffreymagedanz]

I've been having recurring ulcers and/or gastritis for over a year, despite the fact that none of the lifestyle risk factors apply to me. I had a negative test for h. pylori a little less than a year ago. However, I didn't know that a proton pump inhibitor can cause a false negative. It's possible I was taking omeprazole at the time. I'll have to be sure to get re-tested without it. However, the problem is that I often can't sleep without it.

Watching my third video on this channel and I already love it so much. Thanks for this content! I've ordered a home antigen stool test right now for just 6 dollars. I hope it'll be accurate.. I have some indigestion problems for years and also stomach pain from time to time so maybe h. pylori could be the cause..

[Nighthawk]

I called h. Pillory within the first 30 seconds of the video. I like that bacteria's name.
