What is H. pylori?

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria that can cause damage to the stomach lining, leading to a range of digestive issues. Often associated with stomach ulcers and chronic gastritis, H. pylori can also trigger symptoms like bloating, nausea, and indigestion. Left unaddressed, it can result in more serious issues like peptic ulcers and has been associated with autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s.

Our Approach to H. pylori

At The Functional Gut Health Clinic, we take a natural, holistic approach to tackling H. pylori. Our method combines dietary shifts, natural antimicrobials, and digestive system support to address both the infection and the underlying factors contributing to its persistence. Here’s how we approach H. pylori:

  • Dietary adjustments to reduce inflammation
    While diet alone won’t eradicate H. pylori, reducing inflammation can support the eradication process. We cut out inflammatory foods like highly processed items, alcohol, gluten, dairy, and sugar, while incorporating anti-H. pylori foods like  honey, green tea, broccoli sprouts, garlic, and flaxseed oil to ease symptoms and support healing.

  • Natural herbal antimicrobials and biofilm disruption
    We use a targeted combination of natural herbal antimicrobials to eradicate H. pylori, including Matula Tea, Mastic Gum, Black Cumin Seed, and Allicin (garlic extract), which are known for their effectiveness in tackling H. pylori. We also include biofilm disruptors to break down the protective layers that shield H. pylori and enhance the effectiveness of antimicrobials.

  • Probiotics and liver/gallbladder support
    Specific probiotic strains have been shown to help reduce H. pylori load while preserving beneficial bacteria. We also focus on liver and gallbladder support to help flush H. pylori from these organs and promote proper digestion of fats.

  • Stomach lining support
    Protecting and healing the stomach lining is a crucial part of recovery. We use supplements like Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice (DGL), slippery elm, marshmallow root, and aloe vera to soothe and repair the stomach lining. These ingredients can also help reduce inflammation and discomfort during the eradication process.

  • Die-off and detox support
    To manage die-off symptoms (which happens when toxins are released as bacteria die), we incorporate detox support using binders like activated charcoal to help clear toxins from the body. These binders act like magnets, binding to toxins and ensuring they’re safely eliminated from the digestive system, minimizing die-off reaction and discomfort.

Common Questions about H. pylori

What are the symptoms of H. pylori?

H. pylori can cause  symptoms like bloating, nausea, indigestion, and discomfort after eating. In more severe cases, it can lead to stomach pain or ulcers. Testing is important to confirm an overgrowth of H. pylori in the GI tract.

How is H. pylori identified?

H. pylori can be identified through a breath test, stool test, or endoscopy. We typically use a GI Map stool test which allows us to identify the overgrowth and any virulence factors to tailor protocols accordingly. 

How can I address H. pylori naturally?

Natural protocols for H. pylori include herbal antimicrobials, dietary changes, and probiotics to support gut health. These interventions can be highly effective without the side effects of conventional medications. Explore more natural treatment options
