A member asked:

How long does it take for intrinsic factor to become compromised due to h pylori infection? how can one check whether if and b12 are affected by hp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Years: Only a small minority of folks with helicobacter infection develop autoimmune gastritis as a result, and the process itself smolders for years. It's the autoimmune gastritis that compromises the intrinsic factor etc. Let's hope you can get those little critters eradicated before this happens.
