A member asked:
Once eradicated should i still worry about h pylori causing cancer or lymphoma?

No: If you can eliminate chronic infection, the risk of cancers goes away. But if there is prior damage, then there may still be some slight risk but you need not worry as you are already aware and would know if you developed any renewed symptoms.

No, you should not: No need to worry regarding those issues as long as it has been eradicated. I assume you're referring to esophagitis and barrett's esophagus. Discuss with your doctor however whether follow up for gerd induced esophagitis is still warranted.
