Find a ProviderWhat is H. pylori?
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a certain type of bacteria, which is found in the stomach, that mainly affects the digestive system. Most patients don't get sick from H. pylori. In the event you start to have signs of ulcers, you will want to get tested for H. pylori infection. If left untreated, H. pylori infection can lead to ulcers in the stomach by attacking the inner lining of your stomach which safeguards you from stomach acid. H. pylori might cause unwanted irritation and can eventually lead to cancer of the stomach if left untreated. If you experience painful GI symptoms such as stomach pain, you could have an H. pylori infection and will want to be seen by a skilled GI professional. You can find an expert GI doctor near you at Gastroenterology Associates of Florida in Florida.
What are the symptoms of H. pylori infection?
Helicobacter pylori usually gains access to the body from food, unclean water, or dirty utensils. It is more likely to find helicobacter pylori in countries or locations that have poor water quality and septic systems. However, we are all potentially at risk. You can get infected by coming into contact with an infected person’s spit or other bodily fluids. If H. pylori enters your system, you might experience these symptoms:
- Appetite loss
- Burping
- A burning sensation in the abdomen
- Nausea
- Bloating
- Abdominal pain when on an empty stomach
- Unexpected weight loss

Request an appointment with your GI doctor at Gastroenterology Associates of Florida if you experience any of these symptoms, or if you have had unusual abdominal pain, black or bloody stool, and/or vomiting.
