Can Chronic Gas and Bloating be Caused by H. Pylori Bacteria? Reflexology Supports Digestive and Immune Functions #GasandBloatingRelief #Hpylori #ReflexologyNearMe #HealingPlaceEnergySchool

Your chronic gas and bloating may be caused by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria. It is a type of bacteria that causes infection, sores, and inflammation in the lining of the stomach and the upper small intestines (duodenum.) H. pylori can also cause gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and stomach cancer. It is the leading cause of peptic ulcers. Try Reflexology to support your immune and digestive systems.

Approximately two-thirds of the world’s population have H. pylori bacteria, but many people don’t know they have it, nor does everyone display symptoms. It is usually passed from person to person through direct contact with saliva, vomit, stool, dirty food, water, or utensils. Once H. pylori enters the body, it multiplies in the stomach lining, causing it to weaken, making it more likely for stomach acids to create ulcers. The most common symptom of H. pylori is a dull or burning pain in the stomach, and the feeling may come and go and worsen when the stomach is empty.

Treating H. Pylori

Treatment for H. pylori infection includes antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), and H-2 blockers. Treatment takes about two weeks. Once the bacteria is eradicated, there’s little chance the infection will return if you follow good physical and oral hygiene practices (hand washing, bathing, brushing your teeth, and wearing clean clothes.) Keeping clean can kill and remove illness-causing bacteria from your body, lowering the risk of disease. Untreated H. pylori infection may progress into peptic ulcer disease or stomach cancer.

 H. Pylori Symptoms

• bloating and burping 
• no appetite
• nausea and vomiting
• unexplained weight loss 

Be a Poop Observer

If your bowel movements look dark, black, tarry, or have blood in it, call your doctor. There are several medical tests to test for H. pylori, including:

• Stool antigen tests – the most common test for finding H. pylori by detecting proteins (antigens) in bowel movement. 
• Stool PCR test – (polymerase chain reaction test) looks for mutations that can make H. pylori antibiotic-resistant. 
• Urea breath test – measures the carbon dioxide in the breath for H. pylori

Foods to Discourage H. Pylori

Bananas help to stunt the growth of bacteria and coat the intestinal tract from stomach acid. Purple and red-colored foods such as berries, fruit, and garlic can be beneficial to provide relief from indigestion. Eating a clove of garlic daily may help to kill bacteria in the digestive tract. Foods to avoid with H. pylori include spicy or greasy foods, caffeine, or dairy. H. pylori diets should include foods that reduce inflammation, such as berries, broccoli, and green tea.

Strong Immune System Starts in your Digestive Tract – Hand Reflexology for Healthy Immune System

What goes on in your intestines reflects your ability to fight off harmful and invasive pathogens. Your gut and your immune system are linked! About 70-80% of your immunity lives in your digestive tract. Your intestines are continuously exposed to antigens and immunomodulatory agents that can disrupt your immune system.

Immunomodulator health-building agents such as getting enough vitamin D, getting enough rest, managing your stress and anxiety, eating a whole-food diet, and managing your recreational fun can build and support a healthy immune system. If you are constantly sick, it might be time to evaluate your diet.
