Helicobacter pylori infection


  • Overgrowth of H.pylori

Nature

Bacterial overgrowth of H. pylori can suppress stomach acid which enables it to survive the very low pH environment in a healthy stomach. This creates a vicious cycle where bacterial overgrowth and low stomach acid reinforce each other in a continuous decline of digestive function.

Background

H. pylori is the type species of the genus Helicobacter. Helicobacters belong to the family Helicobacteraceae which are all members of the subdivision Proteobacteria.

Claim

  1. A high carbohydrate diet promotes bacterial overgrowth. A low-carb (LC) diet would reduce bacterial overgrowth.
