A member asked:
Can h. pylori cause ulcerative colitis?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Infection by h. Pylori can cause stomach ulcers and if left untreated can cause stomach cancer. It does not involve the colon.

No: It can't. H pylori infects the stomach. The colon is not near the stomach. But many other infections can trigger ulcerative colitis in a genetically susceptible individual.
