If you do not make time for your wellness then you would be forced to make time for your illness.
We shouldn’t wait for illness to start valuing our hearth ,Your health is the least you can preserve in order to live happy and longer.

Greetings everyone ,I will talk about something which sounds simple but very critical. infection caused by H-pilori (Helicobacter Pilori).
H-pilori is a type of bacterial infection. It lives and grows in the digestive tract and has a tendency to attack the stomach wall.
This bacterial manifestation is similar to that of gastritis. The difference is that gastritis is specifically inflammation of the stomach wall and H-pilori further causes gastritis and it could be chronic.
H-pilori is a common cause of peptic ulcers gastritis in adults and more. The unhappy truth about H-pilori is that it does occur in children.
When you are infected with H-pilori ,the infection grows...

The signs and symptoms of H-pilori most patients have presented with are ;

• A burning pain in your abdomen
• Loss of appetite ,you don’t feel like eating cus you think the pain might aggravate on eating.
• Bloating of the stomach
• Unintentional weight loss ,as a result of not eating you turn to loss weight.
• Frequent burping
• Abdominal pain that gets worst when your stomach is empty or when you are stressed out.
• when you stay long without eating hunger comes with pain (Heartburn)

How do you get infected with H-pilori ?

You can get H-pilori from food ,water ,or utensils. You can also pick up this infection from the saliva or other body fluid of an infected person. This implies that if there should be salivary exchange during kissing with an infected person you would get infected too.
With our kids they hardly wash their before eating up something small ,they assume that their hands are clean forgetting to know that “Clean” doesn’t mean free from micro bacteria.
When you have H-pilori and you get stressed out ,stress induces gastric mucosal inflammation and this erodes the stomach wall ,this is where it influences the bacteria by giving it more way to infect.

Complications of H-pilori ,What happens if H-pilori goes untreated.

If not treated H-pilori can lead to sudden occurrence of gastritis(acute gastritis) or the gastritis occur gradually (chronic gastritis).
H-pilori can allow the stomach acid to creat an open ulcer. It can even cause stomach cancer but this is rare.
Aside from the fact that H-pilori attacks the gastrointestinal tract ,it can also infect the liver ,heart and skin.

Foods you should avoid if you have H-pilori signs and symptoms.

-Avoid Foods that stimulate the stomach to secrete gastric juice.
-Do not eat food that will irritate the stomach such as pepperish food and acidic fruits.
-Avoid spicy food

• Abstain from Alcohol for a while(and completely if possible)
  -Avoid Caffein.

Foods that are good to eat when you have H-pilori

-yoghurt
-Eat Alpples ,Apples contain substances that defend the lining of the stomach against H-pilori infection.
-Eat bananas
-Take sips of water frequently

NB Do not stay hungry

The exciting part about H-pilori is that it can be treated. It is treated with a combination of antibiotics which you take as prescribed by your doctor. When medication is prescribed for H-pilori you take it for the duration that has been prescribed if you miss a dose ,the infection continues to eat you up. If you notice any side effects or discomfort when taking treatment do not stop your treatment ,contact your doctor or see a physician.

As small as it sounds H-pilori is very dangerous
Let’s stay safe and healthy ,Health is wealth.
What is wealth without good Health.
